‘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.”
