A talented young student of Kurigram Polytechnic Institute has come up with a novel invention that can put a check on reckless driving on the country’s roads induced by drug or alcohol abuse, and even lack of sleep, reports NTV.
An instant signal will be sent to the car owners or target authorities over phones if the car drivers took spurious drugs and felt sleepy while driving their vehicles, reports the UNB.
Even the car steering has been designed to stop working the moment the hands of any drug-or-alcohol addled individual touches it to try and start the engine.
The brand new technological device ‘Driver anti-sleep and Alcohol Alarm Detect’ will facilitate real-time monitoring.
Sanwar Hossain, son of Abdul Aziz hailing from Dahila Barohatpara in Shibganj upazila of Bogura district and a third-year student of Electronic Technology department of Kurigram Polytechnic Institute, invented the device after conducting a year of experiments.
According to the inventor, the car’s dashboard will be fitted with an eye-billing object which will detect the face of the driver to assess whether he or she is feeling drowsy or taking alcohol while driving.
