A vehicle safety inspection system, comprising:

• a scanning device mounted in an inspection region and configured to scan a detected vehicle;
• an imaging device configured to acquire a physical object image of the vehicle being driven into the inspection region;
• a recognition module configured to recognize the physical object image and determine a type of the vehicle according to a recognized physical object image;
• a selection module configured to select a feature of a trunk of the vehicle according to a determined type of the vehicle;
• a position sensor configured to detect a position of a predetermined part of the vehicle in the inspection region;
• and
• a controller configured to control the scanning device to scan and inspect the trunk in a case that a front end section of the trunk of the vehicle is determined to enter a scanning region of the scanning device according to a selected feature and the position of the vehicle,
• wherein determining the type of the vehicle comprises determining whether the vehicle is a hatchback or a notchback,
• wherein the predetermined part of the vehicle is set as a front wheel rim or a rear wheel rim of a rear wheel lower than a chassis of the vehicle, and the feature of the trunk comprises a first distance of the front end of the trunk beyond the front wheel rim or the rear wheel rim in a travelling direction of the vehicle, and
• in a case that a distance between the predetermined part located upstream of the scanning device in the travelling direction and a radiation beam of the scanning device is less than the first distance, the controller controls the scanning device to scan and inspect the trunk.
