Polynomial regression and deep learning methods to analyze the time series of nitrogen dioxide concentration, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of Madrid Central, a set of road traffic limitation measures applied in downtown Madrid. According to the reported results, Madrid Central was able to significantly reduce the nitrogen dioxide concentration, thus effectively improving air quality.en-USMonograph or Book2020-04-1410.1007/978-3-030-41913-4_10
