Experts at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the Institute of Legal Medicine in the city collected the data, FastCompany reported.

《快公司》（Fast Company）杂志报道，这些数据由慕尼黑大学（Ludwig Maximilian University）专家和慕尼黑市法医学研究协会（the Institute of Legal Medicine）共同收集。

From this, an algorithm that is capable of detecting whether someone is drunk by listening in on slurring speech patterns, has been created by computer scientists at Queens College and Columbia University.

基于这些数据，来自皇后学院（Queens College）和哥伦比亚大学（Columbia University）的计算机科学家们开发出一种测醉程序，这样通过测听模糊语音模式就能判断驾驶员是否醉酒。

They found that they could detect drunken speech patterns much like identifying an accent.

他们发现检测醉后语音模式的过程与识别口音类似。

Drunken speech hall marks include stammering and stuttering. Voices also tend to rise in pitch and words begin to slur, they said.

他们指出，醉酒的话语特征有说话结结巴巴、音调升高、含糊不清等等。

It is hoped that the software could be used alongside devices such as locks and immobilizers to make it impossible for people to drive when drunk – perhaps by asking them a few questions while analyzing the driver’s voice.
