Highlights
General data collection for EU Member States as 
well as an in-depth analysis for countries of the 
project partners: Croatia, Germany and Spain


• Data collection consisting of:
 In-depth research of available data combined with survey data
 Light trailers as well as two- and three wheel vehicles
 Fleet sizes, mileage, PTI statistics and accident data
 Collection and analysis of national road safety measures
• Three scenarios have been defined:
 Scenario 0: base case (no PTI)
 Scenario 1: complete inspection
 Scenario 2: simplified inspection
• The results of a Cost and Benefit Analysis finally led to policy 
recommendations


 Trailers:
Lack of accident data
Reference country: Croatia
 Two- and three-wheelers:
The case of Spain: comparing with and without 
PTI
No alternative road safety measures identified

CBA: 2 Paths
Two- and three-wheelers
Trailers

Empirical data set
• Low data availability

18 Spanish regions
• Assumptions are needed

Time period: 2007 – 2016

Benefits from environmental improvement 
• Germany with no PTI and Croatia 
not considered
with PTI

Dependent variable: moped accidents
• 2,448 kilometers per year and 

Independent variables:
trailer (statistics in Germany)
– Number of Mopeds
• 2,188 kilometers per year and 
– PTI
trailer (Survey in Croatia)

PTI caused on average a reduction of
• Estimation of the likelihood of an 
accident caused by trailer 
– The 18% of total fatalities
– Level of significance is 1%
• BCR for Croatia: 6.32





Trailers O-Vehicles (Croatia)
The average cost per PTI in Croatia is
around 20 Euros for trailers. Given that
there have been 28,884 checks, around
577,680
Euros
of
costs
can
be
estimated. Using the derived benefits
from the previous chapter, a maximum
benefit-cost ratio of 6.32 can be
estimated.





Two- and Three-Wheelers (Spain)
Given the 
benefit of 99 
Euros per 
moped 
checked and 
considering the 
21 Euros cost for 
a PTI after taxes, 
benefit-cost 
ratio of around 
4.73 is the 
outcome.

Conclusions
 Regardless of the lack of data, the benefit of 
inspecting light trailers is greater than the cost
 The case of Spain allow to compare the scenarios 
with and without PTI for L vehicles, with a positive 
impact
 Both proposals are feasible with the equipment 
already defined in Directive 2014/45/EU
