DATA PROCESSING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT FOR THE WISCONSIN INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WDOT) and Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) are currently involved in planning for the implementation of a motor vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance (I/M) program. Once operational, the program will be generating a considerable amount of data. In addition to the obvious problem of handling and analyzing this data, any system developed must be easily integrated with existing computer systems in WDOT and WDNR. This document defines the computer hardware specifications for emission testing installations so that needed data can be readily collected, stored, and transferred to WDOT systems. In addition, the required software systems and specifications that will enable manipulation and analysis of data either on the selected I/M contractor's central computer or the State's system are identified. Finally, a model data processing portion of an I/M Request for Proposals is provided.
