Abstract

Vehicles that are non-roadworthy pose a hazard for all road users and can be one of the main causes of traffic accidents. Previous studies have analysed the impact of the driving style on environmental sustainability and road safety. Starting from this, there was a need to further investigate the relationship between the driving style and vehicle roadworthiness as well. Vehicles that do not comply with the prescribed requirements should be excluded from traffic at a periodic technical inspection. However, the causes of detected vehicle defects cannot be established at a periodic technical inspection. The paper therefore, examines the factors affecting vehicle roadworthiness. First, the failure rate and mileage of vehicles at periodic technical inspection regarding the type of ownership was examined. In addition, a questionnaire was conducted to collect data about the driving style and maintenance habits of different types of car owners. The paper argues that vehicles owned by legal entities were generally in a worse condition than the vehicles owned by natural persons, due to the increased vehicle exploitation, but also due to a more aggressive driving style. Finally, it was found that by modifying their driving style, the drivers can affect the condition of their vehicles, considering the same mileage and maintenance habits.

驾驶风格与车辆保养对车辆适航性的影响

不适合上路的车辆对所有道路使用者构成危险，可能是交通事故的主要原因之一。以前的研究分析了驾驶方式对环境可持续性和道路安全的影响。在此基础上，有必要进一步研究驾驶风格与车辆耐路性之间的关系。不符合规定要求的车辆，应当在定期技术检验时禁止通行。然而，检测到的车辆缺陷的原因不能在定期技术检查中确定。因此，本文对影响车辆行驶性能的因素进行了研究。首先，对不同类型车辆在定期技术检查中的故障率和行驶里程进行了分析。此外，通过问卷调查收集不同类型车主的驾驶风格和保养习惯数据。本文认为，法人拥有的车辆通常比自然人拥有的车辆状况更差，这是由于车辆的开发增加，也是由于更激进的驾驶风格。最后发现，考虑到相同的行驶里程和维护习惯，驾驶员可以通过改变驾驶方式来影响车辆的状况。
