Sažetak
Traffic today is an indispensable part of our lives and one of the basic preconditions of what is called social progress. Like blood in our body it circulates across the whole globe and allows for the necessary flow of people and materials. This work considers the impact of traffic on the lives of people and on the environment, analyses the available energy sources and vehicle propulsion systems and illustrates global climatic issues. The paper presents the methodology created by EU for monitoring of harmful emissions at the national level and gives data on differences in emissions of individual transport modes. The traffic condition in the Republic of Croatia is analysed and a thesis is given regarding possible solution of the stated problems.
