"Abstract: Standard inspection procedures accomplish the goal of removing unsafe commercial vehicles from the public highway system. However, this study has shown that this goal can be accomplished more efficiently and remove more of the unsafe commercial vehicles from the public highway system. The cumulative effect of being able to screen more commercial vehicles with this new infrared scanning technology as compared with the standard inspection procedures will cause an increase in the safety of commercial vehicles."--P. ii.
