VEHICLE INSPECTION DEMONSTRATION PROJECT

A REAL-TIME COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS ESTABLISHED, CAPABLE OF PROVIDING THE INSPECTION STATION WITH A COMPLETE VEHICLE HISTORY, INCLUDING CURRENT INSPECTION STATUS, VEHICLE REGISTRATION, AND VEHICLES INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS OR SAFETY DEFECT RECALL CAMPAIGNS. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF USING COMPACTED VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS HAS BEEN PROVEN; THAT SPECIAL INSPECTION DATA SAMPLING CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED DURING THE NORMAL INSPECTION PROCESS; THAT THE PROJECT HAS PROVIDED VALUABLE DECISION MAKING INFORMATION; THAT DATA SHOULD BE COLLECTED ON THE RELATION OF VEHICLE COMPONENTS TO SAFETY; AND THAT ALL JURISDICTIONS SHOULD ADOPT UNIFORM AND OBJECTIVE MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTION PROGRAMS. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM BE DEVELOPED AND THAT THIS DEMONSTRATION PROJECT SHOULD BE EXPANDED. /HSL/
