THE IMPACT OF MAGNETIC STORMS ON ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN YAKUTSK
This article explores the influence of geomagnetic storms on road traffic accident frequency in Ya-kutsk during the period of 2020-2024. Analysis of data on geomagnetic activity (Kp-index) and road accidents revealed that the accident rates was significantly higher during magnetic storms (Kp ≥ 5) compared to days with quiet geomagnetic conditions. The study established that prolonged geomag-netic storms had a more negative effect on road accident rates than one-day storms. The results of the study can be used to develop preventive measures to improve road safety.
