Miniaturized near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is used to measure blood alcohol concentration. The method utilizes invisible NIR light, which interacts with ethanol molecules in the tissue beneath the skin. AI-powered algorithms then determine the blood alcohol content from the characteristic reflection of this light. TrinamiX has validated the functionality and performance of the technology in a clinical study.

What the NIR Spectroscopy Sensor for Blood Alcohol Level Measurement Delivers

TrinamiX provides expertise in spectroscopy and optical sensing, while Aumovio contributes know-how in vehicle system design and integration. The system can be configured to meet different market requirements and legal thresholds.

The main advantages of the miniaturized NIR spectroscopy sensor for blood alcohol measurement, according to the manufacturer, are:

Non-invasive and comfortable: works through simple touch, no need to blow into a device
Real-time measurements: high efficiency without long waiting times
Compact and flexible: seamless integration at different positions in the vehicle ensures higher user acceptance
Excellent system design and invisible integration through the partnership with Aumovio

"Our NIR spectroscopy technology offers a reliable, user-friendly way to measure blood alcohol levels directly in the vehicle and sets new standards. By providing OEMs with an effective tool to comply with future regulations, we are laying the foundation for greater safety for all road users without compromising driving comfort," said Wilfried Hermes, Director Consumer Electronics & Automotive EU & NA, TrinamiX GmbH.
