Abstract

The study analyzes the impact of geomagnetic storms, lunar cycles and days of the week on car accidents with injuries to people in terms of their potential impact on road users. The study was conducted on the basis of data from 2015 to 2020 in the city of Vinnytsia and region, Ukraine. The effect of geomagnetic storms was estimated according to the values of the Kr index and was weak at a level less than 0.05. The analysis by lunar cycles took place in four lunar phases. An increase in the number of accidents was observed only in the period of the new moon - the first quarter of the cycle. The number of accidents increased on Thursday and Friday relative to the days of the week, and the number of accidents decreased from Monday to Tuesday during the last two years of observation.
