Equivalence of distribution of social and economic damage caused by road accidents in the territories of the largest countries of the world: a new pattern?

The article presents results of a comparative study on the spatial non-uniform distribution of social and economic damage caused by road accidents in the Russian Federation (2015) and the United States of America (2010). Social and economic damage caused by road accidents in regions of the compared countries is evaluated by known methods in absolute terms and expressed in specific units per one average resident. The comparison is performed with the use of Pareto charts constructed in normalized coordinates. The Lorenz curve which identifies the non-uniform distribution of damage in the territory of a country is approximated by a linear function. The comparison of parameters of linear functions "Cumulative curve of damage caused by road accidents = f (country regions)", which identify the specifics of the location of Lorenz curves on the normalized coordinate plane, shows that both Russia and the USA are characterized by almost identical distribution of specific (per person/year) social and economic damage in the territory of the corresponding country.
