DUI Pro was initially developed in 1997 out of frustration in performing the
time-consuming and complicated process of calculating retrograde
extrapolation. DUI Pro 98 was
released in 1998 as a Windows application and quickly became the
de facto standard in blood alcohol analysis.
A unique feature of DUI Pro stemmed from the author's teaching at the
Florida Department of Law Enforcement on DNA analysis of human
remains and the legal requirement that scientific evidence have
measurable reliability.
The few blood alcohol analysis tools deployed by experts did not
factor in the variance in elimination (non-drinkers versus
alcoholics), absorptive factors (delay in metabolizing drinks)
and distribution constants. However, a substantial number of peer-reviewed scientific
studies quantified these error ranges.
For the first time, blood alcohol simulations had significant
utility and admissibility due to the range of values they
provided. DUI Pro 98 was licensed by hundreds of entities
include virtually every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, medical
schools around the world, DUI defense attorneys, addiction
counselors and expert witnesses. As technology advanced, the DUI
Pro 98 lifecycle concluded with the introduction of 64-bit
operating systems. However, with that product sunset a new
opportunity arose.
DUI Pro Online expands the drink database from 200 to over 1,000
drinks which are updated constantly. The database is searchable
by drink type and/or brand name. Licensed users can add their
own drink profiles which are exclusive to their private login
credentials. Another exciting feature of DUI Pro Online is the
use of asynchronous Javascript to provide real-time calculations
of BAC immediately responsive to changes in any variable such as
drinking time, weight, gender or the like. This is an
indispensable feature for retrograde extrapolation.
Reports are detailed enumerating the methodology and are
downloadable as Adobe PDF files which can be emailed, saved or
printed as desired. DUI Pro is not a "drink calculator" but a
scientific tool and resource for law enforcement, criminal
defense, counseling, medical research and occupational safety.
