ML-Powered Driver Monitoring: Detecting Drunk Driving in Real-Time

We recently published a paper at the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, presenting an in-vehicle machine learning system designed to predict critical blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels in real-time. This system leverages driver monitoring cameras—now mandated in many countries—to assess a driver’s BAC. Our evaluation involved a simulator study with 30 participants, demonstrating that the system reliably detected any alcohol influence while driving with an area under the ROC-curve (AUROC) of 0.88. It also identified drivers exceeding the WHO-recommended limit of 0.05 g/dL BAC with an AUROC of 0.79. Model inspection revealed that the system relies on pathophysiological effects associated with alcohol consumption. ...
