Abstract
A series of experimental programs was conducted to provide an empirical data base for a computer model of the economic effectiveness of mandatory inspection and maintenance of light-duty vehicles. The experimental programs provided four basic data sets:
-
1.
The frequency and extent of engine maladjustments and component failures of in-use vehicles.
-
2.
The change in exhaust emission levels that results from changes in engine adjustments and component condition.
-
3.
The deterioration of engine adjustments and components and the associated deterioration in exhaust emissions with the accumulation of time and mileage.
-
4.
The ability of automotive service organizations to detect and repair engine maladjustments and failures.
The data that resulted from these experiments were effectively employed in the computer model.
