Abstract

This study empirically evaluates China's periodic truck safety inspection policies by investigating the cyclic variation of truck performance based on the inspection data classified by truck types in Guangdong province of China from 2010 to 2017. The annual performance of different truck types is analysed and the cyclic variation of truck performance is evaluated over eight consecutive years. Then, the costs of the periodic inspection scheme and the advantages of prolonging the inspection intervals of small trucks and medium trucks are discussed. Quantitative data is also used to reveal the potential associations between the decay rate of truck performance and overweight. The study found that for light and medium trucks within their first five years of operation, the inspection intervals can be extended from one to four years. This research provides useful recommendations for policymakers and government departments when designing effective truck safety inspection schemes in China and beyond.

中国货车强制定期安全检验政策的有效性研究——以广东省为例

本研究基于2010 - 2017年广东省货车类型分类检验数据，通过考察货车性能的循环变化，对中国货车定期安全检验政策进行实证评价。分析了不同类型卡车的年度性能，并对连续8年的卡车性能循环变化进行了评价。然后，讨论了定期检查方案的成本和延长中小货车检查间隔的优点。定量数据还用于揭示卡车性能衰减率与超重之间的潜在关联。研究发现，对于轻型和中型卡车，在他们的头五年内，检查间隔可以从一年延长到四年。本研究为政策制定者和政府部门设计有效的卡车安全检查方案提供了有益的建议。
