Life-cycle private-Cost-based competitiveness analysis of electric vehicles in China considering the Intangible Cost of traffic policies
Applied Energy, 2016Co-Authors: Qinghua Diao, Xinmei Yuan, Lili Li, Wei Sun, Zhi ZhengAbstract:Electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions during operation and have thus been considered a most promising method for providing mobility while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of the transportation sector in the future. The life-cycle Cost of electric vehicles has been widely studied to evaluate their competitiveness compared to conventional vehicles. However, the competitiveness of electric vehicles is highly dependent on government promotion policies, and the effects of non-economic incentive policies are currently difficult to include in life-cycle Cost analysis. These non-economic effects are usually measured by the Intangible Cost. Traffic policies represent typical non-economic incentive policies. In China, electric vehicles are exempted from purchase restrictions (license plate control policy) and driving restrictions; thus, the Intangible Cost of traffic policies has significant effects on the comparison of electric vehicles and conventional vehicles. In this paper, from the consumers’ perspective, the Intangible Cost of purchase and driving restrictions is modeled and expressed in monetary terms; then, the impact of these non-economic incentive policies are compared with subsidies and other Costs of vehicles. Thus, a more comprehensive comparison between electric and conventional vehicles can be provided. Using three selected typical battery electric vehicles and three correspondingly similarly sized conventional vehicles in China, the private life-cycle Costs of battery electric vehicles and conventional vehicles are calculated and compared, a parametric variation analysis is performed, and the effects of economic and non-economic incentive policies in different cities are discussed. The comparison shows that, considering the tangible Costs of vehicles, battery electric vehicles are not currently economically competitive compared with conventional vehicles, and both national and local subsidies are necessary for battery electric vehicles to compensate the Cost gap between battery electric vehicles and conventional vehicles in the short term. However, considering the Intangible Costs, the advantages of traffic policies are very prominent in mega-cities but are significantly smaller in second-tier cities. With the increasingly worse traffic and environmental problems China facing, it is suggested that the promotion of electric vehicles in mega-cities be prioritized and that electric vehicle promotion policies based on taxes, subsidies and traffic control be balanced.

a qualitative approach to the Intangible Cost of road traffic injuries
International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion, 2012Co-Authors: Ricardo Pereznunez, Blanca Estela Pelcastrevillafuerte, Martha Hijar, Leticia Avilaburgos, Alfredo CelisAbstract:The consequences of fatal and non-fatal road traffic injuries (RTI) at the personal and household levels were analysed using qualitative interviews of 12 injured and of 12 relatives of people who died for this reason. Collisions change physical and mental health both of the injured and of their relatives. This leads to changes in daily activities and even to the redefinition of future life. RTI also changes the way people see and act in life, becoming an experience that teaches them. Survivors commonly transmit a road safety message afterwards. Changes in family life were evident (in extreme cases family's composition also changed), affecting intra-familial relationships. Associated unexpected and unplanned expenditures and loss of income have consequences in the short, medium and long term that unbalance household's economies and immerse people into a constant stress. Individuals and family's future plans are occasionally condition to whether they have or not debts. Household dependence in economic terms...

Intangible Cost of road traffic injuries a phenomenological approach
Injury Prevention, 2010Co-Authors: Ricardo Pereznunez, Blanca Estela Pelcastrevillafuerte, Martha Cecelia Hijarmedina, A Vilaburgos, Alfredo CelisAbstract:To explore the consequences of road traffic injury (RTI) in terms of health, individual-family life and its implications on the households economies, the experience of 12 injured and 12 relatives of RTI-deaths was documented using phenomenological approach. Semistructured interviews were analysed throughout critical discourse analysis. Changes in physical and mental health were observed in both injured and relatives of those who died from RTI what implied changes in daily activities temporally or permanently and even to the redefinition of future life. People also change the way they see and act in life learning from their experience: preventive attitudes were evident in their discourse. This also represents a teaching experience for others: consciously and unconsciously survivors transmit a road safety message. Changes in family life were as simple as acquisition of new responsibilities or roles inside the household and as complicated as changes in families composition, sometimes affecting intra-familial relationships and translating in family tension and problems, although occasionally makes families become closer. Associated unexpected expenditures and loss of income have consequences in the short, medium and long term that unbalance households economies and immerse people into a constant stress. Individuals and families future plans are occasionally conditioned to whether they have or not debts. Economic dependency was sometimes observed as well as uncertainty about future life (ie, households sustainability). Sometimes, households change and adapt their life to what they now are able to afford, having important repercussions. Consequences observed in the individuals discourse have no sense in monetary terms. Evidencing what people live after a RTI, allows us to learn from their experience and highlights the need of preventing these events.
