INSPECTION OF MOTOR VEHICLES IN BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA AND MONROE COUNTY. VOLUME I. SUMMARY REPORT

The study was conducted to establish the safety status of the vehicle-in-use population of Bloomington, Indiana and the surrounding Monroe County. The study represented the first time that the Mobile Inspection Facility was used in a major operational effort. Considerable effort was expended in evaluating all aspects of the van operations with special attention being given to the manuals and the supplied equipment. A generalized computer program was designed for analysis and presentation of the data. The computer program can easily accept changes in numbers and types of vehicles processed and changes in the span of model years and vehicle ages processed. One of the conclusions of the report is that the van provides a most effective means of collecting large samples of data in a limited period of time.
