- Abstract
This study addresses the interconnected determinants of road traffic safety in the context of the top 10 pollution-emitting countries, employing a data-driven ecological systems approach. The dependent variable is road traffic fatalities, and the goal is to determine the complicated interactions between other factors such as temperature, rainfall, health force density, road length, and ecological impact. The data is analyzed using a wide range of techniques, including panel data analysis, unit root testing, cointegration analysis, and regression using Driscoll-Kraay standard errors. Temperature and precipitation are shown to have a substantial effect on the dynamics of road safety, as shown by the results. Conventional wisdom is put to the test by the crucial roles played by health force density and ecological impact. Given the complex interplay of factors, the research finds that comprehensive approaches to road safety are necessary. To further inform evidence-based policy recommendations for improved road safety, future study might investigate cultural impacts and temporal dynamics. The coefficient of 0.711 has a D/K standard error of 0.212 and the p-value is 0.002. This suggests that temperature has a positive relationship with road traffic fatalities, and the relationship is statistically significant. An increase in temperature is associated with an increase in road traffic fatalities per million. The coefficient of 0.552 has a D/K standard error of 0.132 and the p-value is 0.001. This indicates a positive and statistically significant relationship between rainfall and road traffic fatalities per million. The coefficient of 0.420 has a D/K standard error of 0.101.and the p-value is 0.000. This suggests a strong negative relationship between health force density and road traffic fatalities. Countries with higher health force density experience lower road traffic fatalities.
