Abstract
An apparatus and a method for inspecting a brake system of a two-wheeled vehicle are provided, which not only can reduce the time required for each inspection of the two-wheeled vehicle to efficiently perform inspection of the two-wheeled vehicle, but also remarkably improve the inspection accuracy. Each wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle is supported by respective corresponding support rollers and an anti-lock brake system and a front and rear wheel interlocking brake system acts on the wheels. Data for rotational speeds of the rollers supporting the wheel acted upon by the anti-lock brake system are measured by measuring encoders. Data for temperature of a brake actuating partof the wheel acted upon by the front and rear wheel interlocking brake system is measured by a measuring sensor. Pass/fail determination of the brake system is performed by a determinationfrom a first pass/fail determining element obtained by the measuring encodersand a second pass/fail determining element obtained by the measuring sensor
