Computing a BAC Estimate
ثبت نشده
چکیده
According to a recent survey, most Americans think that drivers should not drink alcohol and then drive. Nonetheless, our legal system generally relates certain offenses to the amount of alcohol detected in a driver's body. The amount of alcohol is usually referred to as BAC -blood alcohol concentration -although it is often measured in the breath where the alcohol level in the water vapor of the breath follows the alcohol level in the blood.

Multiple Imputation of Missing Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Values in FARS
Alcohol involvement is a major contributing factor in the occurrence of motor vehicle traffic crashes. According to NHTSA’s preliminary estimate for 2002, alcohol was involved in about 42 percent of all motor vehicle crashes where there was a fatality. The most direct measure of a driver’s or nonoccupant’s alcohol involvement is a BAC test result reported in NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting ...
متن کاملHow drunk am I? Misperceiving one's level of intoxication in the college drinking environment.
One effective event-level index that can assist in identifying risky intoxication levels among college students is blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Despite widespread exposure to BAC information, doubt exists as to whether American college students can accurately estimate their own BAC level or drinking behaviors while intoxicated. This study assessed whether students can accurately guesstima...
متن کاملA large-scale study of the relationship between blood and breath alcohol concentrations in New Zealand drinking drivers.
Blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) and corresponding breath alcohol concentrations (BrAC) were determined for 21,582 drivers apprehended by New Zealand police. BAC was measured using headspace gas chromatography, and BrAC was determined with Intoxilyzer 5000 or Seres Ethylometre infrared analysers. The delay (DEL) between breath testing and blood sampling ranged from 0.03 to 5.4 h. BAC/BrAC rat...

This paper presents an application of design of experiments techniques to determine the optimized parameters of artificial neural network (ANN), which are used to estimate force from Electromyogram (sEMG) signals. The accuracy of ANN model is highly dependent on the network parameters settings. There are plenty of algorithms that are used to obtain the optimal ANN setting. However, to the best ...
