Using the exhaled breath of a driver to check whether the driver has drunk alcohol, and a controller to make, once it is determined that the driver has drunk alcohol, a warning means to alert other drivers in vehicles nearby that the vehicle is being controlled by a drunk driver, thereby taking necessary measures to ensure safe driving. In particular, since the controller causes an emergency light to flash and a horn installed in the vehicle to sound as the warning means, additional components can be reduced and nearby drivers can easily recognize the vehicle being controlled by a drunk-driver and respond safely. In addition, it is possible to easily detect alcohol from the exhaled breath of a driver who sits in the driver's seat and exhales by mounting an alcohol detection sensor for checking whether the driver has drunk alcohol through exhaled breath on the steering wheel, so the alcohol detection effect may be enhanced, correctly checking whether the driver has drunk alcohol with no separate operation or position adjustment.
운전자가 내쉬는 날숨을 이용해서 운전자의 음주 여부를 확인하고, 술을 마신 것으로 판단하면 제어기가 경고수단이 작동하게 해서 주변 음주 차량 주변에서 주행 중인 다른 운전자에게 경각심을 불러일으킬 수 있게 하여 안전운행과 필요한 조치를 취할 수 있다. 특히, 경고수단으로 자동차에 장착된 비상등의 점멸과 경음기가 작동되게 제어함으로써, 추가 구성을 최소화하면서도 주변에 있는 운전자가 쉽게 음주 차량인 것을 확인하고 안전하게 대처할 수 있다. 또한, 운전자의 날숨을 통해 음주 여부를 확인하는 알코올 검출센서를 스티어링 휠에 장착함으로써, 운전석에 앉은 운전자가 내뱉는 날숨에서 쉽게 알코올 성능을 검출하여 알코올 검출 효과를 높이면서도 별도의 조작이나 위치 조정이 없이도 정확하게 음주 여부를 확인할 수 있다.
