Controlling Vehicle Safety And Emissions Characteristics In Developing Countries A Survey Of Existing Practice And Development Of Online Training MaterialVehicle Safety Is An Important Yet Often Neglected Component Of Modern Safe System Approach And One Of Important Pillars Of The Current Un Decade Of Action For Road Safety 20112020 While The Impact Of Different Vehicle Safety Technologies On Safety Is Relatively Well Studied And Research In These Areas Has Helped Make Some Safety Related Vehicle Safety Features Mandatory Such As For Example Seatbelts Airbags Crash Performance Tests Vehicle Safety Star Rating Abs Esc Electronic Stability Control Or Most Recently Intelligent Speed Assistance Etc Most Of This Research Is Oriented To Improving Vehicles In The Markets They Are Initially Manufactured For Research Related To Newly Produced Vehicles Is Quite Advanced And Rich However Importance And Impact Of Standards And Policies Related To Evolution Of Vehicles Safety Features And Importance Of Technical Status Of Vehicles During Their Technical Life And Particularly As They Change Hands Across National Boundaries Tends To Be Severely Underestimated By Road Safety Policy And Decision Makers The Standard Rule Of Thumb Following Analysis Of Different Types Of Crash Contributing Factors Suggesting That Around Five Percent Of Crashes Can Be Attributed To Vehicle Malfunctions And General Problems With Technical Status And Safety Features Of Vehicles Might Be Misleading In The Context Of A Safe System Approach While Driver Behavior And Roadway Engineering Characteristics May Be The Predominant Explanatory Factor In Understanding The Frequency And Severity Of Crashes The Incidence Of Death And Serious Injury Resulting From Those Crashes Might Still Be Elevated Because Of Inadequate Use Of Appropriate Vehicle Safety Features And Systems That Could Protect Car Occupants And Other Road Users The Five Percent Rule Of Thumb Commonly Cited May Very Well Obscure The Potential Role Of Vehicle Safety Features And Systems In Reducing Death And Serious Injury From Traffic Crashes Under The Safe Systems Approach The Vehicle Should Be An Important Component Of Safety System Protecting Road Users From Injuries And Fatalities By Nature The Possibility Of Scrutinizing The Direct Road Safety Impact Of Periodical Inspection Schemes Is Limited Since The Regime Of Implementation Of Systems Is Rather Slow The Quality Of Periodic Inspection Or The Data Are Not Always Sufficient And Or The Areas To Compare Are Not Equivalent Particularly In Lmics However There Have Been Or Are Currently Undertaken Studies To Capture Road Safety Benefits Of Implementation Of An Appropriate Vehicle Inspection System By Comparing Baseline Safety Parameters Without Or With Very Poor Vehicle Inspection System With The Situation After Introduction Of Efficient System Examples Of Such Research Could Be Studies Regarding Vehicle Safety Done For Turkey Spain Mopeds And Costa Rica Similarly Some Countries Have Tried Different Policies Related To Vehicles Technical Safety And Emission Standards And Results Of Such Policies Will Be Also Relevant In Preparing Arguments In Support Of Better Policies And Stricter Standards Regarding Market Entry For Different Categories Of Vehicles And Quality Of Vehicles Measured Using Different Technical Safety And Emission Parameters Objectives The Broad Objectives Of This Study Are To Prepare A Background Summary Report On The Use Of Vehicle Inspection And Maintenance Programs In The Developing World And What Is Known About Their Impact On Vehicle Safety And To Develop A Training Program For World Bank Staff And Partners From Developing Countries On Motorization Management Systems Generally And The Use Of Vehicle Inspection And Maintenance In Particular Phase I The Main Objective Of Phase I Of This Work Is To Conduct A Study To Identify What Is Known About Both The Propagation And Use Of Advanced Vehicle Safety Controls And The Systems Of Control For Certification Of Vehicles For First Use And Inspection And Maintenance Of In Use Vehicles In Non Oecd Countries Around The World A Secondary Objective Is To Call Out Current Gaps In Knowledge Regarding These Issues And To Identify Potential Strategies To Address These Gaps A Tertiary Objective Is To Highlight The Relationship Between Effective Vehicle Maintenance And Fuel Economy Performance Phase Ii The Objective Of Phase Ii Of This Assignment Is To Develop A Training Program Based On The Materials And Information Gathered In Phase I Of The Assignment As Well As Parallel Work By The World Bank On Motorization Management Systems To Be Provided To The Consultant Oriented Toward Providing Guidance To World Bank Task Teams But Possibly Other Audiences Including Partners From Low And Middle Income Countries As Determined By The Task Manager For This Assignment On How To Frame Discussions About Motor Vehicle Inspection Systems Both For In Use Vehicles And Certification Of Vehicles For First Use In A Country How To Plan Design And Or Modify These Systems For More Effective Results What Role Vehicle Inspection For In Use Control And Certification For First Use Plays In A Broader Motorization Management Strategy And What Kinds Of Institutional And Resource Support Are Effective In Helping Countries Establish Strengthen These Systems Scope Of Work Phase I Survey Of Existing PracticeA Task 1 Systematizing What Is Known About Existing PracticeB Task 2 Adoption Of Vehicle Safety Features Crash Worthiness And Road Worthiness And Road Safety OutcomesC Task 3 Motor Vehicle Pollution Control In Developing CountriesD Task 4 Vehicle Safety Emissions Fuel Economy Linkages Phase Ii Development Of Online Training MaterialE Task 1 Development Of E Learning Concept NoteF Task 2 Elaboration Of Online Learning ProgramG Task 3 Pilot Test Of Online Learning ProgramH Task 4 Ancillary Material
