How the 1–5 index is calculated

We ask our own nakordoni.eu API for air-raid alerts within 250 km of this crossing’s coordinates. The source ties alerts to raions and we place each one on the centre of its oblast — so the distance in the table is the distance to the centre of that region, not to the alert itself.

The index takes the closer of two things: the nearest region under an active alert, and the nearest tracked airborne object. 5 means closer than 50 km, 4 up to 100 km, 3 up to 160 km, 2 up to 220 km, 1 up to 250 km. If the alert is in the very region this crossing stands in, the index is never below 4 — that is the region you are driving into.

The data is deliberately not real-time: the API answers with a 1–3 minute delay, plus up to 90 seconds of our own cache. The exact time of the snapshot is always stated above.

What kind of crossing this is

Odesa region, Izmail district: this is not an ordinary checkpoint but a ferry crossing over the Danube to Isaccea in Romania. Cars, coaches and pedestrians reach the far bank by vessel, and that alone makes Orlivka unlike every other crossing on our list.

The key thing to understand is that the queue here does not behave as it does on land. At an ordinary crossing the flow disperses steadily; at a ferry it moves in batches — as many as the vessel takes per sailing. So your wait depends not only on how many vehicles are ahead of you but on where in the timetable you arrive: the difference between just catching a sailing and just missing one can be a full interval. The heaviest days on our observations are Wednesday and Friday, peaking in the afternoon.

A further peculiarity is the dependence on conditions on the Danube. Weather, wind and the state of the river affect sailings in a way nothing does at a land crossing, so you need a larger time buffer here than the queue itself suggests. If the ferry is not running for any reason, the overland alternative for this direction is Reni, crossing into Giurgiulești.
