Statistical Analysis of the Impact of Application of the European Union Rules on the Number of Death from Traffic Accidents and the CO Pollution

Abstract

In the context of introducing the latest rules for traffic monitoring, new types of cars propulsion, and security systems, a significant change in the trends of human life lost in car accidents and diminishing CO pollution are expected. In this article, we emphasize the trend in these two directions in the European countries. It is shown that the human loss significantly diminished in a certain number of countries, while the CO recorded a decreasing trend in 25 countries (out of 28) during the analyzed period. Clustering emphasizes the existence of the dissimilarities among the series contained in different groups obtained based on the two study criteria.
