  • Drink Driving Initiative
    DRINK DRIVING INITIATIVE 2016 SUMMARY REPORTS The work summarized in this report is part of the implementation of the Beer, Wine and Spirits Producers’ Commitments to Reduce Harmful Drinking CONTENTS 1 About this report 3 Executive Summary 4 Cambodia 8 Dominican Republic 12 Mexico 15 Namibia 19 Russia 24 South Africa 28 Thailand 1 ABOUT THIS REPORT Road traffic crashes result in more than 1.25 million fatalities and as many as 50 million injured people per year. Reducing these figures must remain high on political and public health agendas, especially if we are to meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 3.6, to halve the number of global deaths and injuries resulting from road traffic crashes by 2020. Much work is already being done to improve road safety. In 2016, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/70/L.44, “Improving global road safety,” and identified many best-practice initiatives and strategies, which Member States and stakeholders could adopt to reduce road crashes. In addition, UN Road Safety Week 2017 focused on behavioral measures such as speed management, motorcycle helmets, seat belts and child restraints, and drink driving prevention. Henry Ashworth President of IARD Ultimately road safety is a shared responsibility and government, civil society and the private sector must all play a role in reducing deaths and injuries. The alcohol industry recognizes the dangers of drinking and driving, especially in low- and middle-income countries and has a long history of working in partnerships to prevent or reduce alcohol- related traffic deaths and injuries. The International Alliance for Responsible Drinking (IARD) and its member companies convene stakeholders to implement drink driving prevention initiatives using strategies that are evidence based and have proved effective in a variety of contexts.

  • Zaouk-1 DRIVER ALCOHOL DETECTION SYSTEM for SAFETY
    DRIVER ALCOHOL DETECTION SYSTEM FOR SAFETY (DADSS) – A STATUS UPDATE. Abdullatif K. Zaouk Michael Wills QinetiQ North America U.S.A. Eric Traube National Highway Traffic Safety Administration U.S.A. Robert Strassburger Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers U.S.A. Paper Number 15-0276 ABSTRACT The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Automotive Coalition for Traffic Safety (ACTS) began research in February 2008 to try to find potential in-vehicle approaches to the problem of alcohol-impaired driving. Members of ACTS comprise motor vehicle manufacturers representing approximately 99 percent of light vehicle sales in the U.S. This cooperative research partnership, known as the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS) Program, is exploring the feasibility, the potential benefits of, and the public policy challenges associated with a more widespread use of non-invasive technology to prevent alcohol-impaired driving. The 2008 cooperative agreement between NHTSA and ACTS for Phases I and II outlined a program of research to assess the state of detection technologies that are capable of measuring blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC) and to support the creation and testing of prototypes and subsequent hardware that could be installed in vehicles. This paper will outline the technological approaches and program status. INTRODUCTION Alcohol-impaired driving (defined as driving at or above the legal limit in all states of 0.08 g/dL or 0.08 percent) is one of the primary causes of motor vehicle fatalities on U.S. roads every year and in 2011 alone resulted in almost 10,000 deaths.
