Abstract

This study systematically analyzes the value generated by Korea's vehicle inspection system from four key perspectives-social, safety, environmental, and future-oriented-based on domestic and international research data. The 2024 analysis reveals that the system prevents approximately 45,000 traffic accidents annually and generates 591.4 billion KRW in economic benefits. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that the system encompasses diverse multi-dimensional values and serves as a comprehensive social infrastructure that sustains the foundation of the future mobility industry. Finally, this study proposes strategies to strengthen the role of future-oriented vehicle inspections.
