Abstract

A system analysis was completed of the general deterrence of driving while intoxicated (DWI). The analysis identified system elements relevant to the DWI decision and assessed the potential of countermeasures that might be employed in general deterrence programs. This paper defines the DWI general deterrence framework, describes the analytical methods employed, and presents the conclusions and recommendations derived from project results. The paper also presents a system model for interrelating factors which influence DWI deterrence and an associated computer-based simulation program for examining DWI deterrence alternatives.
