THE USE OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT FOR STUDIES OF VEHICLES

DER EINSATZ ELEKTRONISCHER GERAETE BEI FAHRZEUGUNTERSUCHUNGEN

Electronic equipment means that the examination of vehicles for safety can be carried out more quickly and more thoroughly. The examiner needs to be freed from tiresome written work and evaluation of measured values, and be able to concentrate on studies which cannot be carried out automatically. A system is described which evaluates conventional functional tests by means of electronic equipment and processes the results on a computer. For the vehicle owner this partly automated testing hardly differs from the conventional test; officials from the test centre take over his vehicle and return it to him afterwards with the results of the test. The increasing use of electronic equipment in vehicle workshops has given the false impression that investigations carried out by the technical inspection association would no longer correspond to the state of the art. Workshop diagnosis is however primarily directed at the rapid determination of defects and simplification of repair, and only then to traffic safety, and therefore in many cases a tyre test rig is not available. The covering abstract for the conference is IRRD no 208556 /TRRL/
