Does the EES system work at Rakovets border crossing?

EES Inactive

Currently, the Entry/Exit System (EES) is not active at Rakovets border crossing.

EES is a new EU automated system being gradually implemented at Schengen Area borders. Once activated, the system will record the date, time and place of border crossing, as well as travelers' biometric data.

Rakovets: Ukrainian border-guard shift change at the Ukrainian–Romanian border — when and how long to wait

Border guard shift change on the Ukrainian side of Rakovets happens twice a day — at 08:00 and 20:00 local time. These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control.

During shift change, processing of of pedestrians at Rakovets typically slows for 20–60 minutes. To minimize wait, plan to cross 30+ minutes before or 60+ minutes after the approximate shift change. Check the live queue above for current status.

The neighboring Romania checkpoint is in the same time zone as Ukraine (Kyiv time), so its shift change falls at roughly the same 08:00 and 20:00. Because both sides change at the same time, the slowdown is concentrated in narrow windows — about 08:00–08:30 in the morning and 20:00–20:30 in the evening (Kyiv time).

How we calculate the wait time

Every figure on this page — the hero, today’s chart, the 7-day forecast and the source comparison — comes from one model, so they never contradict each other.

Data sources

  • DPSU — official data of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine
  • eCherha — the electronic queue for trucks and buses
  • Cameras at the crossing and on the approach roads
  • TomTom — traffic speed on the approach roads
  • Driver reports on nakordoni.eu and in Telegram

How the model works

  1. Base wait = vehicles in the queue × the average processing time per vehicle at this crossing (learned from the last weeks of history).
  2. The base wait is then adjusted for the lane mode, the weather and the current processing speed, with a correction around border-guard shift changes.
  3. The next-hours and 7-day forecasts use the same model on the typical profile of this weekday.

The best time is the hour with the lowest forecast queue from now until the end of the day; hours with known counter glitches are excluded.

The update time is shown in the hero. When no new data arrives for several hours, the page marks it as outdated and offers a refresh.

ℹ️ How is the forecast calculated? ▼
Data source:

Automatic calculation based on historical queue data and current checkpoint situation.

Factors considered:

The model analyzes typical load patterns by time of day and day of week.

Limitations:

Actual waiting time may vary due to unforeseen circumstances (repairs, incidents, seasonal peaks).

Improvements:

Forecast accuracy improves with more real-time data from users and official sources.
