Alcohol impairment poses significant risks in recreational activities like go-karting, jeopardizing the safety of participants and bystanders alike. Addressing this concern, this project focuses on implementing an innovative solution: an alcohol detection system with go-kart ignition locking. From keeping people safe on the roads to keeping tabs on them in hospitals and offices, alcohol detection systems are essential. Potential harms linked to alcohol intake can be better identified and prevented with its aid. By including a high-tech alcohol detection system with a NodeMCU (ESP8266) microcontroller, this project aims to improve safety measures in go-karting conditions. The system's goal is to allow for control and monitoring of the go-kart igniting process in real-time via the use of an alcohol sensor, a relay module, and an LCD display. If the go-kart driver is in the area of a potential source of alcohol vapours, the alcohol sensor will sound an alarm. When it senses that someone is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the NodeMCU will activate the relay module, which will then lock the go-kart's ignition system. Intuitive and transparent, the LCD screen provides real-time feedback on the alcohol detection status, allowing users and operators to respond quickly.
