‘U’ research shows in-car 
alcohol tests prevent crashes

Devices can check for 
intoxication before 
allowing vehicle 

to start

By NABEEL CHOLLAMPAT 

Daily Staff Reporter

The combination of drinking 

and driving could soon be a thing 
of the past.

University 
researchers 

from the Injury Center and 
the 
Transportation 
Research 

Institute 
published 
a 
study 

Thursday exploring the potential 
effects of alcohol ignition interlock 
devices if they were installed in 
every newly purchased vehicle in 
the United States over a 15-year 
period.

The 
devices, 
currently 
in 

development 
by 
the 
federal 

government, can either operate 
as a Breathalyzer that determines 

if the driver is under a certain 
blood alcohol content, or through 
the 
steering 
wheel 
using 
a 

transdermal approach that reads 
BAC through the skin. They are 
currently only mandated for use 
by repeated driving under the 
influence offenders, and do not 
allow the car to turn on if the 
driver’s blood alcohol level is over 
a specific percentage.

The study concluded that with 

the devices, the United States 
could avoid 85 percent of alcohol-
related motor vehicle crash deaths 
over the 15-year period, meaning 
over 59,000 deaths and 1.25 
million non-fatal injuries.

Dr. Patrick Carter, assistant 

professor of Emergency Medicine, 
led the research, and Dr. Rebecca 
Cunningham, 
professor 
of 

Emergency Medicine and Public 
Health, and Jonathan Rupp, Carol 
Flannagan and Ray Bingham of 
the TRI, co-authored the report.

Carter said he pursued this 

angle of research because drunk 

driving is a pressing health issue.

“It’s important to note that 

alcohol-involved motor vehicle 
crashes are a significant public 
health problem,” he said. “This 
would be one way of preventing 
a drinking driver from getting 
behind the wheel and causing 
non-fatal and fatal injuries.”

The researchers used data from 

two data sets, Fatality Analysis 
Reporting 
System 
and 
the 

National Automotive Sampling 
System’s 
General 
Estimates 

System, covering 2006 to 2010. 
FARS calculates fatalities from 
every motor vehicle crash in the 
country, while NASS calculates 
a probability sample to create a 
national ranking of crashes.

Models 
extrapolated 
from 

this data over a 15-year period 
allowed researchers to reach their 
conclusions about the devices.

The study also found that 

the 21-29 age group is the most 
vulnerable 
to 
drinking 
and 

driving, and the addition of these 
devices would prevent nearly 
480,000 
deaths 
and 
injuries 

specifically within that age group.

“(The 21-29 age group) is really 

the hardest age group to intervene 
with,” 
Carter 
said. 
“They’re 

recently legal drinkers and they 
often get behind the wheel after 
drinking, but they’re the hardest 
to intervene.”

Ignition 
interlock 
devices 

typically 
cost 
around 
$400, 

but according to Carter, the 
group’s models estimate that 
the United States would recoup 
the upfront cost of the devices 
in savings within three years of 
implementation.

Rupp, 
the 
TRI 
research 

associate 
professor, 
said 
the 

research and the devices would go 
a long way toward solving driver 
safety issues.

“People have been trying to 

implement 
safety 
systems 
in 

vehicles for 50 years, and there’s 
still people who are killed in 
crashes, so addressing one major 
portion of that, being able to 
reduce that, is going to have a huge 

New effort to 

promote real-world 

experiences for 

students

By SAMIHA MATIN 

Daily Staff Reporter

The 
Taubman 
College 

of 
Architecture 
and 
Urban 

Planning is launching a new 
type of class in the Fall 2015 
semester to provide students 
and professors a more immersive 
learning environment.

Called Master Classes, these 

new environments will consist 
of short professional and skill-
based 
training 
workshops 

focused 
on 
addressing 

current problems in modern 
architectural design. During 
the workshops, which focus 
on experiential learning and 
completing 
experimental 

projects, students will have 
the chance to work with both 
national 
and 
international 

architects.

The classes will be funded 

through the University’s Third 
Century Initiative, which aims 
to engage students in innovative 
educational experiences that 
extend beyond the classroom.

Ellie Abrons, Adam Fure 

and Andrew Holder, assistant 
professors at Taubman College, 
said they founded the project 
to bring more relevance to the 
traditional studio classes used 
in architecture.

“The 
studio 
classes 
are 

very intensive, where a small 
group of students work with 
a single faculty member to 
cultivate their own ideas into 
how designs should work in a 
building,” Holder said. “They 
project their private visions 
about what a building should 
like into their work. However, 
they 
fail 
to 
engage 
with 

contemporary issues of social 

and political significance.”

Instead 
of 
replacing 
the 

conventional 
methods 
used 

in 
studio 
classes, 
Master 

Classes will continue using the 
techniques of intensive studies 
that professors have found most 
successful.

Additionally, 
Master 

Classes will provide numerous 
opportunities 
for 
students 

to learn from experts with 
different 
perspectives. 
A 

greater number of students will 
participate at the workshops, 
which will be styled in the 
format 
of 
a 
hackathon 
to 

increase 
competition 
and 

teamwork between students.

“Instead 
of 
students 

individually 
engaging 
in 
a 

project, 
they 
will 
now 
be 

able to work with the master 
practitioners to tackle issues of 
social significance,” he said.

Holder also highlighted the 

efficiency of Master Classes 
compared to studio classes. In 
studio classes, students work 
on a single building design over 
the course of an entire semester 
or 
academic 
year. 
With 
a 

Master 
Class, 
the 
course’s 

key component is a three-day 
intensive workshop designed to 
embody the competitive spirit 
of a hack-a-thon. During the 
workshops, students work with 
visiting experts to work on a 
design project related to the 
professional’s own work.

Holder said he hoped that 

the Master Classes would be 
eventually 
implemented 
in 

various other fields, particularly 
in science and medicine, which 
require laboratory work.

“We think that the way 

architects work and think about 
problems can be applicable 
to such fields,” Holder said. 
“For now, we want the Master 
Classes to keep on changing and 
getting bigger so that we can 
soon incorporate these methods 
into other fields.”

The classes will also focus 

on giving students first-hand 
experiences, 
drawing 
from 

infrastructure present around 
campus, Ann Arbor and Detroit. 
Holder said he hopes by working 
on real, local projects, students 
will better see the impact of 
design.

“Architecture is a very social 

aspect,” Holder said. “Everyone 
is affected by it. And that’s 
exactly what Master Classes 
hope to do.”

Holder 
said 
interacting 

with these local issues will 
also 
provide 
students 
the 

chance to interact with bigger 
architectural ideas as well.

“Master Classes will bring 

the community and the large 
scale issues into the University 
institution,” he said. “Students 
can then address them as 
academic problems as well.”

Taubman 
student 
Dustin 

Murphy said in an e-mail 
interview he is excited about 
the new classes, as they will 
provide him with numerous 
opportunities to work outside 
the studio and gain valuable 
experiences in the field.

“The workshops will provide 

me with new spaces to explore 
my 
place 
in 
architectural 

discipline,” Murphy said. “I 
will able to try new things that 
are outside of my typical design 
sensibilities and discover new 
methods of working.”

Murphy also said he hopes 

the workshops reach a large 
number of students.

“The workshops encourage 

an interdisciplinary approach 
to architecture and require 
critical thinking that actively 
engages the discourse,” Murphy 
said. “Students should utilize 
this 
great 
opportunity 
and 

engage 
with 
the 
discipline 

at the level provided by the 
workshops. In that way, they 
will be able to consider their 
place in architecture, as well 
as the role of architects in the 
world at large.”
