37 Inspection and Certification

39 VEHICLE TESTING PRESENT SCENARIO Every year a fitness certificate is issued, for the roadworthiness to all public service or commercial vehicles running on the road by the Transport department (RTO office) as per rule 62 of CMVR. The fitness tests are presently based completely on visual inspection only. There are certain critical parameters related to safety and emissions which should be checked thoroughly by specialised equipment only installed at Inspection and certification lanes called I&C lanes.

40 VEHICLE TESTING PRESENT SCENARIO Due to absence of I&C lanes network in the country existing vehicles on road pose a great hazard for public safety and environment at large. The new vehicles are extensively tested from point of view of safety at manufacturer s end. However, in use vehicles continue to run on road without consideration for safety of public or mitigation of pollution in environment.

41 VEHICLE TESTING PRESENT SCENARIO THE SOLUTION IS: Vehicle Test Lane The solution to the above problem is to set up network of the Vehicle Test Lanes all over the country where all the vehicles (HCVs, LCVs, MCVs, cars, taxis, 3 wheelers and even 2 wheelers ) can be tested for fitness parameters like Brakes, Headlight, Suspension, Alignment, Pollution, Speedometer including above and under carriage inspection. All the test data is stored in the computer. This will ensure movement of safer and environment friendly vehicles on road besides bringing concept of End of Life of a vehicle on road as prevalent in rest of the advanced world.
