Smart Start Ignition Interlock Technology

Smart Start's SSI-1000 ignition interlock system.Smart Start’s ignition interlock system effectively separates drinking from driving. It combines advanced technology, accurate monitoring and responsive, flexible reporting. At the heart of Smart Start’s solution is the SSI-1000® – a state-of-the-art handheld breath-alcohol monitoring device electronically connected to the vehicle ignition. Alcohol-specific and similar in size to a cellphone, the SSI-1000 was developed using fuel-cell sensor technology for reliability and ease of operation. Smart Start pairs this proven device with proprietary Smartrac® and SmartLog® software. This makes it easy for drivers to use, and allows the interlock program and reporting to be customized to a particular jurisdiction.

The SSI-1000, developed exclusively by Smart Start, reflects state-of-the-art interlock technology. Multiple design features make the device difficult to defeat. The built-in microchip records all test results, engine starts and stops, disconnections and tampering for later review.
