From page 19...
... 19 Conclusions and Suggested Research Researchers used a multifaceted approach to further investigate the standard alcohol sensor in SHRP 2 vehicles and develop an initial alcohol-detection algorithm based on the sensor data. The second phase of research was designed with this goal in mind.
From page 20...
... 20 weakly to moderately able to differentiate imbibed versus unimbibed alcohol. In particular, the alcohol-detection algorithm tended to classify unimbibed alcohol trips as imbibed trips, which meant a tendency for false positives.
From page 21...
... 21 Recommendation 1: Consider the Following Criteria in an Alcohol-Detection Algorithm for Use with the SHRP 2 Data Any algorithm that is developed for use on the alcohol sensor should consider the following criteria: • There is large variance in the warm-up period for this sensor before it begins to produce stable readings. This can last as long as 2 minutes.
