Plan of Tainan City for dynamometer testing of diesel-fueled vehicle exhausts 2016

Absrtact
(一) There were 25,175 vehicles inspected by the visual identification on emissions via photo shooting, which achieves 104.9% of the contract target of the project. (二) 6,282 vehicles have been successfully identified by the License Plate Recognition, accounting for 104.7% of the rate of target completion. (三) 3,842 vehicles have received the notices for the concern of pollution via visual determination, accounting for 101.1% of the rate of target completion. (四) Continuously maintain the webpage of visual exhaust determination photos and reporting photos provided by public which is convenient for public to search and achieve energy saving and carbon reduction as well as for the convenience of citizens. (五) Notices for old vehicle inspection. 3,110 Notices had been screened and sent to vehicles without inspection in recent years, accounting for 103.7% of rate of target completion. (六) 5,221 vehicles had been conducted the dynamometer opacity inspection with 121.4% of the achievement rate. Among them, 451 vehicles had failed the tests. There were 190 vehicles in total that the vehicles owners select to further take exhaust smoke test and 54 vehicles failed. Consequently, 315 vehicles failed the tests and the final test disqualification rate is 6%. (七) With the strict selecting mechanism, 337 vehicles failed in 418 roadside emission tests with a failure rate of 80.6% and 100% of the achievement rate. There were 305 vehicles in total that the vehicles owners select to further take exhaust smoke test and 51 vehicles failed. Consequently, 83 vehicles failed the tests with 19.9% of the final test disqualification rate. (八) Regarding the vehicle test service in remote areas, we have conducted 12 tests in Baiho, Cigu, Danei, Beimen, Chiangjun, Guanmiao, Zuochen and Yujing districts. 157 vehicles had been conducted the opacity rate test for 298 vehicles and 25 failed tests with 15.9% of final disqualification test rate. (九) We have conducted the station test for 20 vehicles by randomly sampling the oil tanks of the vehicles and the roadside sampling test for 30 vehicles. Therefore, there were 50 vehicles in total which have been tested and 100% working progress was achieved. All the oil samples have passed the tests. (十) The promotion conference “Autonomous Management for vehicle noise and air pollution in campuses of Tainan City” was held at The SME Incubator at Southern Taiwan Science Park in the morning of June 24, 2016 with 100% target achievement rate. (十一) We have 6 press releases published in newspaper with 150% target achievement rate. (十二) We have purchased 1000 propagandas and printed 4000 promotion brochures, accounting for 100% of target completion rate. (十三) The school buses of 3 schools were included in the autonomous management, accounting for 100% of target completion rate. (十四) We have conducted 1 praise activity for excellent environmental protection department and praised 18 diesel vehicle autonomous management entities with great performance, with 100% of target completion rate. (十五) Complete 1 internal audit once every month against the requirement of contract, with 100% of target completion rate. (十六) The quarterly quality assurance information was submitted to the Environmental Protection Bureau via letter for record in January, April, July and October as required by the contract during the project period, with 100% of target completion rate. (十七) Regarding the accreditation of the TAF laboratory, we have acquired certification for additional item in May 2015as corresponding to the implementation of opacity rate since 2015. In addition, we have passed the extended assessment on November 19, 2015, so the accreditation lab system is still in effective operation. (十八) In addition to the formal announcement of setting An-Ping air quality clean zone on January 1, 2016, there are also Jian Shan Pi Jiangnan Resort established on August 1, Like on September 1 and Southern Science Park, Tainan, Shugu and Yongke such 6 air quality clean zones. (十九) Aiming at two test stations, we have executed 15 quality assurance and management tests each and finished the control drawings, which shows the test ability and inspection quality of each station are normal. (二十) Plan execution performance in 2016: The test results of vehicle ages and opacity levels between 2015 and 2016 showed that the opacity levels in all the vehicle age categories in 2016 are lower than those in 2015, with an overall average decreasing from 0.9m-1 in 2015 to 0.8 m-1 in 2016. Meanwhile, the tests of horsepower ratio also showed a decrease from 13.6% in 2015 to 8.2% in 2016. In addition, the inspection analysis reports from vehicle maintenance plants showed that after repair and maintenance, the failure rate of average horsepower ratio was 20.8% in 2015 but it was reduced to 10% in 2016, showing a significant improvement. The analysis of average horsepower ratio in vehicles older than ten years showed an increase from 51.1% in 2015 to 53.7% in 2016. Taking into account the average opacity level, horsepower ratio, and failure rate, it is obvious that the pollution caused by diesel vehicles in Tainan has been improved significantly.
