We report quantum Hall experiments on the plateau-insulator transition in a
low mobility In0.53Ga0.47As/InP heterostructure. The data for the longitud
inal resistance rho(xx) follow an exponential law and we extract a critical
exponent kappa = 0.55 +/- 0.05 which is slightly different from the establ
ished value kappa = 0.42 +/- 0.04 for the plateau transitions. Upon correct
ion for inhomogeneity effects, which cause the critical conductance sigma(x
x)* to depend marginally on temperature, our data indicate that the plateau
-plateau and plateau-insulator transitions are in the same universality cla
