It is challenging to select the right vehicle for inspection in a commercial vehicle
inspection
station. Visually, many commercial vehicles look similar. Moreover, even when a vehicle
is
operated by a known and generally reputable carrier, the vehicle may have something
wrong with
it, while even a carrier often known for lack of maintenance can still have perfectly
serviceable vehicles on the roads.
It is, well-known that a proper use of thermal infrared imaging permits a viewer to
immediately
see – by the distribution of heat – which vehicles may have problems with
their
braking or bearing systems; bad bearings will overheat significantly, while brakes that
are
failing to engage will be cold; locked brakes will be overly hot. IEM’s Thermal
Brake
Infrared Imaging Camera System saves time, energy and money.
