For the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, vehicle and driver inspection used to mean cumbersome data gathering in the field, followed by manual handling of paper-based inspection reports. By employing an information system for supporting the inspection process, the inspectors can become more effective and the quality of inspection data can be improved. Through the use of online handheld terminal units for collecting driver and vehicledata during the inspection procedure, together with the implementation ofa national database for vehicle inspection data, and a state-of-the-art backend system for planning and managing inspections, the VaDIS system is contributing to safer roads by keeping the standards of vehicles and drivers up through more efficient, consistent and precise inspections.
