SysTech understands that there are significant differences between a regular OBD inspection analyzer and a Self Service OBDII Test Lane. The development goals for this type of equipment were completely different. The hardware is rugged and withstands the use of the equipment without supervision. All components are in a locked cabinet to prevent tampering and destruction.

Software development also required special considerations to address a different type of operator, the motorist. The motorist is an untrained user who operates the Self Service Test Lane once every one or two years. Therefore, similarities to other Self-Service equipment such as ATMs, Self Service cash registers, gas pumps, etc. were of outmost importance during the user interface development.

The development goals for SysTech International's 24/7 Self Service OBDII Test Lane were based on the following objectives:

• Reduce user interactions to the absolute minimum
• Simplify user interface
• Maximize use of bar code/OCR readers
• Maximize fraud prevention via added camera, e-signature functions, and electronic verifications of the vehicle under test
• Automate billing process

SysTech has put a system together that will clearly be setting the standard for the equipment market to come. We provide integration ideas that are superior to any of our competitors.

The 24/7 Self Service Test Lane is custom built and optimized to this application with regard to fraud prevention, vandalism proof equipment, easy to understand customer user interface, and the use of best-of-breed components.
