Abstract:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) guideline on state motor vehicle inspection programs recommends that states should maintain a vehicle safety inspection program to reduce the crash outcomes from the number of vehicles with existing or potential conditions. Some states have started to terminate the vehicle safety inspection program because of insufficient effectiveness measures, budget constraints, and modern safer automobiles. Despite the consensus that these periodic inspection programs improve vehicle condition and improve safety, research remains inconclusive about the effect of safety inspection programs on crash outcomes. There is little recent research on the relationship between vehicle safety inspection programs and whether these programs reduce crash rates or crash severities. According to the 2011–2016 Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data, nearly 2.6% of fatal crashes happened as a result of the vehicle’s pre-existing manufacturing defects. NHTSA’s vehicle complaint database incorporates more than 1.4 million complaint reports. These reports contain extended information on vehicle-related disruptions. Around 5% of these reports involve some level of injury or fatalities. This study used these two databases to determine the effectiveness of vehicle inspection regulation programs in different states of the U.S. A statistical significance test was performed to determine the effectiveness of the vehicle safety inspection programs based on the states with and without safety inspection in place. This study concludes that there is a need for vehicle safety inspections to be continued for the reduction of vehicle complaints.

Abstract:
The article presents the possibility of verifying the efficiency of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) with the use of particle counters using two different measurement methods. The tests were carried out at a vehicle inspection station using a condensation particle counter (CPC) and a diffusion charger (DC). This article presents the results of measurements of 50 vehicles. Removal of the diesel particulate filter from a vehicle is prohibited but is a known phenomenon throughout the EU. The task of periodic technical inspections is to eliminate vehicles that are inoperative and do not meet the environmental protection requirements. However, to date, European vehicle inspection stations do not have an effective tool to counter tampering with diesel particulate filters. The performed measurements allowed us to prove the hypothesis that both methods of measurement allow the effective confirmation of the presence of DPF in a vehicle during the periodic technical inspection of the vehicle and verification of the quality of its operation. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of both measurement methods were assessed.

Abstract:
Vehicles that are non-roadworthy pose a hazard for all road users and can be one of the main causes of traffic accidents. Previous studies have analysed the impact of the driving style on environmental sustainability and road safety. Starting from this, there was a need to further investigate the relationship between the driving style and vehicle roadworthiness as well. Vehicles that do not comply with the prescribed requirements should be excluded from traffic at a periodic technical inspection. However, the causes of detected vehicle defects cannot be established at a periodic technical inspection. The paper therefore, examines the factors affecting vehicle roadworthiness. First, the failure rate and mileage of vehicles at periodic technical inspection regarding the type of ownership was examined. In addition, a questionnaire was conducted to collect data about the driving style and maintenance habits of different types of car owners. The paper argues that vehicles owned by legal entities were generally in a worse condition than the vehicles owned by natural persons, due to the increased vehicle exploitation, but also due to a more aggressive driving style. Finally, it was found that by modifying their driving style, the drivers can affect the condition of their vehicles, considering the same mileage and maintenance habits.

Abstract:
Despite a long-term focus on passenger vehicle safety, there are still 38,000 vehicle-related fatalities annually. Some are the result of failure to maintain safety components of vehicles, such as brakes, tires, or headlights. Following NHTSA guidelines, 18 states have implemented periodic safety inspection programs in which certified inspectors assess components, and owners are required to repair or replace deficient components. In the case of tires, when the tread depth falls to 2/32 in., its stopping distance becomes excessive. Thus, this tread depth level was built into the safety inspection thresholds for tires. One challenge is that, in an annual vehicle inspection, if a tire passes at a level of 3/32 in., it may fall below the safe (2/32 in.) threshold soon after inspection. In an era of higher vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and reduced attention to maintenance, perhaps the thresholds set for safety inspections should be higher than the “safe level” to provide a buffer. Using 6 million safety inspection records from Pennsylvania from 2006 to 2016 we calculated tread depth deterioration and annual VMT at the vehicle level. We estimated the “percent of vehicles at risk of having unsafe tires before the next inspection” (using the 2/32 in. threshold) to be about 30%. We also estimated how the percent of at-risk vehicles decreases as the inspection thresholds are raised, and found an attractive threshold at about 5/32 in. for which the percent of at-risk vehicles would be very low. Such changes could further reduce fatal and non-fatal accidents.

Abstract:
Users of bridges and tunnels are generally concerned about the aging of these structures. Periodic inspections are necessary to keep old bridges and tunnels healthy. Inspection engineers must approach the inspection points as close as possible by mobile elevating of the work platform for close visual inspection of lining concrete. The inspection of a road tunnel particularly requires traffic regulation. Furthermore, it takes much time to perform visual inspection and hammering test for the vast area. Moreover, the inspection results have variations by inspectors. We propose an “Inspection Vehicle” for inspection of tunnel lining concrete by a new technology for infrastructure maintenance. This study reports the finding on element technology of an inspection vehicle and applies a tunnel inspection test.

Abstract:
This systematic review was conducted to determine the effect of periodic motor vehicle inspections on road crashes and injuries, compared to less exposure to periodic inspections or no inspections. The Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were used to search the literature. Ecological studies were specifically excluded. A reverse search of the results with these databases and of other identified narrative reviews was also performed. Of the 5065 unique references initially extracted, only six of them met the inclusion criteria and were selected for review: one experimental study, two cohort studies with an internal comparison group, two cohort studies without a comparison group, and one case–control study. Two authors independently extracted the information and assessed the quality of each study. Due to the heterogeneity of the designs and the intervention or comparison groups used, quantitative synthesis of the results was not attempted. Except for the case–control study, which showed a significant association between road crashes and the absence of a valid vehicle inspection certificate, the other studies showed either a small reduction in crash rates (around 9%), no association, or a higher crash rate in vehicles with more inspections. In all observational studies, the risk of residual confounding bias was significant and could have explained the results. Therefore, although the research reviewed here suggests that periodic inspection may be associated with a slight reduction in road crashes, the marked heterogeneity along with probable residual confounding in most reports prevented us from establishing causality for this association.

Abstract:
Complex aircraft require periodic maintenance checks to assess needed repairs for continued vehicle availability. However, such checks are expensive and the associated aircraft downtime can reduce fleet mission effectiveness. The United States Air Force plans to consolidate the time-based (isochronal) C-5 aircraft major inspection activities for eight C-5 home stations into three locations. Isochronal inspections rely on a calendar method to schedule inspections and disregard actual flying hours between inspections. By having the same personnel perform these inspections for all flying units and by adopting commercial aircraft condition-based inspection strategies, the Air Force hopes to gain efficiencies in performing these inspections. Conversely, the site phase-out schedule and reduced number of inspection locations raises questions about whether overall C-5 mission capability will be reduced. These proposed revisions were simulated in a designed experiment to assess the impacts to fleet availability and inspection site workload.

Abstract:
The social cost, as one of the factors determining sustainability of socio-economic development, is strongly dependent upon a number of casualties and mortality in road accidents. The condition of car tires appears to be one of the important factors determining the occurrence of accidents. The vast majority of vehicles are tested every year at vehicle inspection stations. One of the elements affecting the result of the technical condition test and basically the quality of vehicle braking is the technical condition of the tires. Their technical condition is a very important factor responsible for the quality of acceleration, braking, maintaining, or changing the direction of driving. As a consequence, it has a significant impact on road safety. The aim of the study is to examine the impact of tires on the results of tests performed at a vehicle inspection station. The study presents the results of bench measurements of the impact of selected features of tire condition of two vehicles during routine periodic inspections at a vehicle inspection station (VIS). The focus was on an attempt to assess the impact of inflation pressure, age, and tire tread wear on the braking process. The technical studies performed might be a source for legal steps assuring better management of road safety. It can also be expected that the tire choice and condition may affect fuel consumption, and therefore the amount of energy consumed by the road transport.

Abstract Private passenger cars of Taiwan registers quantity from 1981 to 1999 years of grow approximately 10 times will increase to 5,567,687 cars even more in 2007 years. Therefore the government two times revised vehicle inspection law of vehicle inspection intervals. Relax private passenger new cars for the first time and avoid inspection in 3 years. Relax private passenger new cars in order to avoid inspection in 5 years again for the second time. It has been annual periodic inspection one times in the 5 to 10 years. It has been annual periodic inspection two times in more than 10 years. But because vehicle still grows up continuously, it is unable to do fundamental settlement. And this change lengthened at one time, there is doubt of causing car owner''s idle psychology, will cause vehicle to endanger the traffic safety because of negligent of maintaining. And current periodic inspection only some make inspection at one time to vehicle some, lack the tube of vehicle state at ordinary times and accuse of the measure, so that become a mere formality can''t guarantee the traffic safety of vehicle. This research analyses the discussion on relevant research of private passenger cars inspection intervals first, and with the state of using of domestic vehicle reality, namely freeway breakdown records, probe into the impact on traffic safety and road traffic of the current regulations, breakdown happens from now to the time of the last inspection with vehicle, with vehicle year-MFG in vehicle materials, brand of nationality, such influence factors as vehicle of category, vehicle owner''s of category and inspection of agency , gather together and exactly analyses the main shaft as research, probe into the relation with breakdown time. Research consulting foreign country and the similar researches of domestic scholars and experts at the same time is proposed, the innovation of drawing up private passenger cars inspection intervals is proposed. Research way is as the target with breakdown records from January of 2008 years to September of highway middle road section. Cooperate with current vehicle inspection intervals of domestic to make analysis to compare. Makes real example analysis in five ways. Divide into groups every way relevant parameter and then, make parameter two relevant Chi-square test, analyses so as to Chi-square test and logistic regression, to making real example research further. The purpose lies in analysis questions produced under the system at present, build and construct to guarantee to set out on a journey the performance of vehicle properly, guarantee the public traffic safety, enable vehicle inspection system to give play to the system of the best efficiency, for government appropriate authorities'' reference. Analyzed that shows by the real example, breakdown happens in one month after periodic inspection in domestic private passenger cars of over more than 10 years cars, relatively vehicle within 10 years has more trends in the looks; Breakdown happens in one month after periodic inspection in private passenger cars of over more than 15 years cars, relatively vehicle within 15 years has more trends in the looks; The car is private passenger cars for 7 to 10 years, the frequency of breakdown happens in 6 months after periodic inspection, the looks has less trends than vehicle of 6 years; The frequency of breakdown happens after taking the place of and examining factory inspection in private passenger cars for over more than 10 years. It has more one that breakdown frequency happens after highways supervision authority inspection in private passenger cars the age in the same car of looks trend; Comprehensive research result, propose it to the car private passenger cars inspection intervals scrupulous looking over another of over more than 10 years.

Abstract:
The behaviour of the tyre plays an important role in the vehicle handling. Thus for the analysis of vehicles and road safety it is necessary to take into account the forces and moments generated at contact patch. An accurate tyre model that estimates these forces and moments is highly essential for the studies of vehicle dynamics and control. Most of the tyre models have been developed for high speed, combined forces, etc. But, usually, automobile vehicles run at low speeds during an important part of their operating life (less than 60 km/h) and in steady state conditions. Furthermore, during vehicle inspection and maintenance of the steering and brake system, by means of sideslip tester and roller brake tester respectively, the forces transmitted by the tyres are measured, all of these inspections are carried out at low speeds. Therefore, it is particularly interesting to develop a model of the contact patch tyre-pavement for low speeds without the complexity of models that cover a wide speed range but with a bigger precision at low speeds. The dynamometer plate has proved to be an appropriate test equipment to characterise the tyre-pavement contact at low speed and the steering geometry and wheel alignment. It has the feature of being able to carry out tests for any type of tyre allowing to test with a great flexibility and operating speed. For this reason, the dynamometer plate has been chosen as test equipment. The main aim of this research is to set up a contact model between tyre and pavement at low speed, based on the measurement of longitudinal and lateral forces. The experimental tests carried out by means of the dynamometer plate have allowed to establish a relationship between influence variables and the longitudinal and lateral forces in the contact patch for steady state low speeds. A sensibility study has shown that the most influential variables in the forces of the contact patch are the pressure, the vertical force and the toe angle. However, the influence of temperature and camber angle is lower for the defined model conditions. A test methodology that allows carrying out the experimental tests in a systematic and controlled way in the dynamometer plate has also been developed.

Abstract:
Broken joint bars have been identified as one of the major causes of main line derailments in the US. On October 2006, the US Federal Railroad Administration issued a federal regulation that mandates periodic inspections to detect cracks and other indications of potential failures in CWR joints [1]. The rule requires periodic on-foot inspection or an approved alternative procedure providing equivalent or higher level of safety. This paper describes a new machine vision-based system for joint bars inspection at speeds up to 70 mph. Four line-scan cameras mounted on a hi-railer or full size rail vehicle continuously capture high resolution images from both sides of each rail. An on-board computer system analyzes these images in real time to detect the joint bars. Each joint bar image is automatically saved and analyzed for visible fatigue cracks. The images can also be analyzed for missing bolts and other defects. When a potential defect is detected, the system provides audio warning, tags the image with GPS position, and displays the joint bar image with highlighted defects on the screen. The operator may confirm or reject defects. At the end of the survey, the operator can generate a survey report with the joint bar GPS location and types of all defects. This new system improves productivity and workers safety, inspecting joint bars from a moving vehicle instead of having to walk along highly transited tracks. It also allows the railroads to reduce the time between inspections, preventing defects to develop into hazards. Several tests have been performed on different rail roads showing system defect detection capabilities on both CWR and jointed track.

Abstract:
Three new criteria have been developed with the purpose of improving road safety, through an enhanced wheel alignment inspection in the context of the Periodic Motor Vehicle Inspection (PMVI). Nowadays, the result of the inspection in Spain is not determined directly from an objective measurement. It depends greatly on the inspector criterion. The three developed criteria provide the inspectors with an objective procedure, based on the measuring device that is nowadays installed in the PMVI stations: the sideslip tester. The first proposed criterion checks if the toe-in angle is set according to the manufacturer’s specifications, using a model that has been specifically developed to estimate this angle from the sideslip measurement. The second one evaluates if there is an excessive permanent side force when driving in straight line, thanks to a model expressly developed for this purpose. A third criterion establishes a limit for the sideslip measurement, common for all the vehicles, with a non-symmetrical range from the zero sideslip. An extensive program of validation tests has been carried out for the three proposed methods. According to them, the third proposal has been chosen as the preferred one. Previously, a comprehensive study of the sideslip measurement fundamentals and the different factors that may have an influence on the results was done.

Abstract:
Composite pressure vessels have been used for over 40 years in a variety of military, aerospace, marine, transportation, stationary, and vehicle applications. Codes, standards, and guidelines have been developed to address vessel performance in these high pressure applications by ASME and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). A risk or hazard identification analysis may be conducted during qualification and approval process. Prototype and qualification testing in these standards validate the design and anticipated operating conditions. Knowledge has been gained from qualification testing, field experience, and inspection that supports selection of materials and design configurations for marine and land based applications. Periodic inspection of vessels mitigates risk, particularly in terms of detecting environmental and mechanically induced damage before failure can occur. This paper was written jointly between ABS and Lincoln Composites through the certification process of Lincoln’s Titan™ project. This paper will outline qualification of technology and, testing requirements, as well as discuss the basis for hazard mitigation and material selection in the marine environment.

Abstract:
The problem considered in this paper is to produce both routes and refuelling schedules for a heterogeneous fleet of autonomous mobile vehicles that provide efficient group work performance in large-scale persistent monitoring missions. In the model, the route for the group of vehicles must be determined on the extended time period to ensure regular and well-timed inspections of a set of tasks at scheduled intervals. The routes are limited by the speed limitation, onboard equipment and fuel capacity of the vehicles alongside with visitation frequency and equipment requirements of each task. Fuel capacity limitations force vehicles to recharge (refuel) at intervals using charging stations within the operation area. It is a problem of considerable practical interest to effectively route the heterogeneous group of vehicles under continuous rotation and in a dynamic environment with vehicle systems being subjected to malfunctions and unforeseen events. We propose two-level architecture for the group control system to coordinate cooperative vehicle actions during long-term multi-objective missions: while the high-level planner is designed to dynamically adjust fail-safe refuelling schedules for the vehicles in the group, the low-level planner is aimed to the accurate generation of the local group routes ensuring well-timed accomplishment of all tasks under technical constraints.

Abstract:
Two ultrasonic testing (UT) devices to inspect the internals of nuclear reactor have been developed. The one is a jet pump UT device to inspect the inner weld line of the jet pump, and the other is a shroud UT device to inspect the outer weld line of the shroud. The jet pump UT device is mainly composed of an inspection probe scanner and a wheeled platform with a telescopic guide. Since the inspection probe scanner has been designed slim enough to pass through the narrow opening of the jet pump nozzle, it can be remotely positioned inside the jet pump transported by the wheeled platform. The shroud UT device is mainly composed of a flat-type remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and a positioning mast of ROV. The ROV is installed remotely on the outer surface of the shroud using the positioning mast. And the ROV has been designed thin enough to pass through the narrow gap between the jet pump and the shroud, so that it can move horizontally on the surface of the shroud with automatic cable feeding. Consequently, the proposed remote and automatic inspection devices can perform the inspection work in short time without using fuel handling machine (FHM). Therefore, the inspections can be performed simultaneously with the refueling work, which contributes to the shortening of regular inspection periods of nuclear power plants.

Abstract:
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) completed a total of 25 high friction surface treatment (HFST) projects across the state in 2018. This research study attempted to investigate the durability and performance of HFST in terms of its HFST-pavement system integrity and surface friction performance. Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the physical and mechanical properties of epoxy-bauxite mortar. Field inspections were carried out to identify site conditions and common early HFST distresses. Cyclic loading test and finite element method (FEM) analysis were performed to evaluate the bonding strength between HFST and existing pavement, in particular chip seal with different pretreatments such as vacuum sweeping, shotblasting, and scarification milling. Both surface friction and texture tests were undertaken periodically (generally once every 6 months) to evaluate the surface friction performance of HFST. Crash records over a 5-year period, i.e., 3 years before installation and 2 years after installation, were examined to determine the safety performance of HFST, crash modification factor (CMF) in particular. It was found that HFST epoxy-bauxite mortar has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) significantly higher than those of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures and Portland cement concrete (PCC), and good cracking resistance. The most common early HFST distresses in Indiana are reflective cracking, surface wrinkling, aggregate loss, and delamination. Vacuum sweeping is the optimal method for pretreating existing pavements, chip seal in particular. Chip seal in good condition is structurally capable of providing a sound base for HFST. On two-lane highway curves, HFST is capable of reducing the total vehicle crash by 30%, injury crash by 50%, and wet weather crash by 44%, and providing a CMF of 0.584 in Indiana. Great variability may arise in the results of friction tests on horizontal curves by the use of locked wheel skid tester (LWST) due both to the nature of vehicle dynamics and to the operation of test vehicle. Texture testing, however, is capable of providing continuous texture measurements that can be used to calculate a texture height parameter, i.e., mean profile depth (MPD), not only for evaluating friction performance but also implementing quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) plans for HFST.
