Maritime traffic risk

  • 详情 Environmental data-driven dynamic Bayesian network for risk performance evolution in China's coastal shipping
    With the rapid development of the global shipping industry, maritime traffic continues to grow, and maritime traffic risks are becoming increasingly prominent, posing serious threats to economic development, the ecological environment, and public safety. In this context, this study develops an environmental data-driven dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) model to simulate the dynamic evolution process of maritime traffic risks from the massive data of complex shipping systems. Firstly, based on the systems theoretic accident model and processes (STAMP) accident causation analysis framework, risk influencing factors (RIFs) are identified through the analysis of maritime accident report systems. Secondly, addressing the dynamic nature of maritime risks, a novel transition probability matrix (TPM) learning mechanism integrating environmental data is proposed, constructing a DBN model capable of characterizing temporal risk performance. Finally, a case study of typical routes along the Chinese coast reveals that risk performance evolution exhibits significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity across sea areas, with the East Sea and South China Sea regions being the most prominent. Their fluctuations are highly correlated with seasonal meteorological and hydrological changes, and the distribution of accident risks is also closely associated with extreme weather events such as typhoons. Sensitivity analysis validates the model's reliability. This study provides a quantitative tool for the dynamic risk management of intelligent shipping systems and offers policy insights for intelligent maritime transportation safety regulation.
