The objective of the study is to qualitatively assess the methodologies used in published analyses of the effectiveness of vehicle technical inspections in the reduction of collisions, fatalities and injuries.
The underlying hypothesis is that existing studies arrive at different estimates of effectiveness due to, at least, one of the following:
- The data used in the assessment is not detailed enough to detect the effect (lack of detailed enough data)
- The size of the sample is not large enough to detect the effect (lack of statistical power)
- The methodology used is not appropriate to detect statistically significant results.
Layman's summary: Critical assessment of the impact of vehicle technical inspections.
