Marine Traffic Real-Time Safety Index

Abstract

To reflect the safety degree of marine traffic in real-time and intuitively, this paper put forward a concept of real-time safety index of marine traffic, established marine traffic real-time safety index system, and constructed a real-time safety index evaluation model by using vessel traffic and navigation environmental data provided by shore-based AIS base station network, and quantifying a variety of data which impacts the safety of marine traffic such as ships’ real-time dynamic data, weather changes and so on. A continuous real-time evaluation to a specific area was carried out in the form of real-time index curve, taking the Waigaoqiao Channel of Port Shanghai as an example, to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of marine traffic real-time safety index.
