INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION SYSTEM (IRIS); A COMPLEMENT TO THE INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION PLAN

The International Registration Information System (IRIS) has been designed as an adjunct to the International Registration Plan, a compact among the States and Canadian Provinces providing registration of vehicles involved in inter-jurisdiction commerce. This System could provide computer-assisted commercial vehicle registration and fee proration without entailing the need for States/Provinces not now automated to become so, or for those that are computerized to purchase new hardware. The System is sponsored by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators and would be contractor-developed by them, input data being transmitted over ordinary telephone lines to a commercial computer. Cost benefits would be derived by reducing unit registration costs and assuring accuracy of transfer payment accounting. Several scenarios are given of on-line and batch type setups.
