Abstract
To assure safe runnings of motor vehicles, laws in Japan have
made it statutory for motor vehicles to periodically undergo motor
vehicle tests. During these tests (diagnosis and inspections),
brakes, speedometers, wheel alignment, headlamps, exhaust emissions
and so forth are inspected by means of appropriate pieces of test
equipment. After the test results have been compared against the
reference values, "pass/fail" evaluation is indicated,
memorized and recorded. Moreover, instructions for the driver are
provided on indicators. The test equipment with such capabilities
has been employed in the government-run motor vehicle inspection
stations in Japan.
In addition to such government-run motor vehicle inspection
stations, this paper deals with an automated motor vehicle
inspection system which has been designed compactly and which is to
be used in nongovernmental service shops directly connected with
services and repairs.
