Model and Application of Risk Degree for Vessel-Bridge Collision Based on Theory of Ship Collision Avoidance

Abstract

In recent years, there are many ship-bridge collision accidents in the world, which caused huge casualties and property losses. The main risk not only come from itself, but also come from the vessel in the water. Following the development of economy, more and more vessels sailing in higher level inland rivers in China, it causes the traffic density climb sharply, and with the heighten speed of ship, bridges crossing navigational channel be confronted with more higher risk of ship-bridge collision.
