Abstract:
1. A starter for controlling start of a power source of a transporter based on operation of a starter switch by a driver, the starter comprising: a detection portion having an optical window for measuring an alcohol concentration in blood of the driver in an optical manner; a load determination element for determining whether a load to the detection portion is equal to or larger than a first threshold, and smaller than a second threshold, wherein the second threshold is larger than the first threshold; a measurement element for measuring the alcohol concentration in the blood when the load determination element determines that the load to the detection portion is equal to or larger than the first threshold, and smaller than the second threshold; a starting permission element for determining start permission of the power source based on determination whether the alcohol concentration in the blood is smaller than a predetermined standard; a permission lamp for showing the start permission of the power source; and a starting controller for controlling the start of the power source, wherein the permission lamp turns on when the starting permission element determines the start permission of the power source, wherein, when the load determination element determines that the load to the detection portion is equal to or larger than both the first threshold and the second threshold, after the permission lamp turns on, the starting controller determines that the operation of the detection portion by the driver provides the operation of the starter switch by the driver, and wherein the starting controller starts the power source when the starting permission element determines the start permission of the power source, and the operation of the detection portion by the driver provides the operation of the starter switch by the driver.
