Breath-alcohol vehicle interlock : TARU 7/80

Investigations by the New South Wales Department of Motor Transport's Traffic Accident Research Unit over the past two years, into ways of reducing excessive drink-driving, have led to the firm conclusion that the best approach is one covering a wide front which should include some means of attempting to change the behaviour of drivers and riders directly, rather than relying entirely on attempting to change their attitudes to drink-driving which is particularly difficult when riders and drivers are already under the influence of alcohol. This view has received support both in Australia and overseas, but no effective method of changing behaviour directly has been developed so far.\r\nTenders are invited for the design and supply of three prototype interlocks for fitment to motor vehicles. Lach interlock shall determine the level of alcohol concentration by analysing a deep lung sample of breath of a potential driver and shall prevent vehicle operation at a predetermined level of alcohol. Each successful tenderer will be required to design and supply three units in accordance with the requirements below. The tendered units will be evaluated by the Department, or by its representatives. This specification is intended to serve as a guide to requirements.

新南威尔士州汽车运输部交通事故研究单元（Traffic Accident Research Unit）在过往两年间针对减少过度酒后驾车的治理路径开展了调研，现已得出确凿结论：最优解决方案应采用多维度全方位的综合策略，其中需包含直接干预驾驶员与骑行者行为的手段，而非完全依赖改变其对酒后驾车的态度——当骑行者与驾驶员已处于酒精影响状态时，此类态度改造的难度尤为突出。该观点已在澳大利亚境内外获得广泛支持，但目前尚未开发出有效的直接行为干预方法。
现公开招标，邀请供应商设计并供应三套可加装于机动车的酒精联锁装置（interlocks）原型机。每套酒精联锁装置需通过分析潜在驾驶员的深肺呼吸样本，检测其酒精浓度，并在酒精浓度达到预设阈值时阻止车辆启动。每家中标投标方均需按照下述要求设计并供应三套装置。本次投标提交的装置将由本部门或其授权代表开展评估，本技术规范仅作为需求指引。
