According to the researchers, the model achieved an accuracy rate of about 91 percent in tests, raising hopes for its potential application in road safety measures. Experts say the innovation could be developed into an app that alerts drivers or authorities when unusual driving behaviors are detected.

The initiative is seen as a major step in tackling road accidents caused by drunk driving, a persistent problem across Nigeria. Stakeholders in transport and public health have welcomed the findings, noting that technology-based solutions can complement law enforcement efforts in curbing dangerous driving.
