It is the 15th year of regular motorcycle exhaust inspection system since 1996. According to the extension of inspection-exempt term and the adjustment of subsidy qualifications announced by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), we have amended the principle of inspection subsidy this year. Due to the extension of inspection-exempt term and subsidization only for first inspections, the cost of inspection subsidies, compared to 2010, were decreased about NT$ 140 million (21%). In addition, miskeying of license plate number for inspection record was minimized effectively through full-scale screening of inspection photos. Dynamic license plate recognition and auditing data collected from the Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB) were used to update non-used vehicle database and ensure the effectiveness of inspection notification. The major project tasks consists of auditing management and training for the inspection station, review and appropriation of subsidy funds for inspection, test equipment verification, test database system operation and maintenance, and statistical analysis of regular inspection data. For inspection station management, the quality screening and control of stations with abnormal performance and the efficiency of auditing result reporting were improved; for testing program verification, “Message-Digest Algorithm 5” (MD5) identification code was introduced in the installation file to ensure the programs that the inspection station used is consistent with the verification version. For the assistance to EPA in consultation and review of gas verification this year, 3 firms were helped to acquire the qualification of EPA. For system-related operations, we accomplished the co-constructed system transplantation in accordance with the Department of Environmental Monitoring and Information Management’s regulations, and the functional adjustment of administrational zone redevelopment system. Moreover, in response to the subsidies for first inspections, a platform was established for the EPB to reinforce control over the unqualified vehicles. For the motorcycle maintenance records exchange platform, we established the “feedback of inspection notification records” as a new function, and negotiated with the vehicle manufacturers to feed back their maintenance and notification records for analysis of inspection achievements.
