Retrospective analysis of the data concerning inspections of vehicles with adaptive devices
Abstract
The article presents results of retrospective analysis of data from tests related to the diagnostics and inspections of vehicles as part of official technical tests carried out in 2016–2022, among the others, at the Automotive Service Centre for Disabled Persons operating at the Motor Transport Institute. The current trend shows that the quality of technical inspection is regularly improved by introducing legal standardization and standards for assessing the technical condition of a vehicle intended for a disabled driver. The subject of technical tests should therefore be adaptive devices designed to adapt the vehicle for their safe use by these people. As a part of this study, an analysis of the literature in the area of mobility and vehicle adaptation was also carried out, indicating the current directions of analyses and technical standards for adaptive devices.
