Abstract
Enhancing Situation Awareness (SA) is crucial for maritime traffic safety. Various indicators have been developed to assess risks in encounter situations and support the SA of Vessel Traffic Service Operators (VTSOs) and Officers on Watch (OOW), including collision risk and traffic complexity. Despite the widespread use of these navigational aids, ship collision incidents have not been effectively reduced. This paper abstracts ship encounter situations as linear dynamic systems to enhance the understanding of traffic situations. A traffic advisory framework based on the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) is proposed by integrating complexity metrics with risk indicators. The proposed method is validated through simulations of head-on, overtaking, and crossing scenarios, demonstrating its ability to accurately assess encounter complexity and issue advisories for free navigation, complexity, and resolution. Finally, we discuss the practical application of the proposed method through real-world experiments conducted in the waters of Qiongzhou Strait. The results indicate that the proposed method effectively quantifies the complexity of ship encounter situations and identifies high-collision-risk vessels from a microscopic perspective while providing insights into maritime traffic surveillance from a macro perspective.
期刊介绍:
Elsevier publishes Reliability Engineering & System Safety in association with the European Safety and Reliability Association and the Safety Engineering and Risk Analysis Division. The international journal is devoted to developing and applying methods to enhance the safety and reliability of complex technological systems, like nuclear power plants, chemical plants, hazardous waste facilities, space systems, offshore and maritime systems, transportation systems, constructed infrastructure, and manufacturing plants. The journal normally publishes only articles that involve the analysis of substantive problems related to the reliability of complex systems or present techniques and/or theoretical results that have a discernable relationship to the solution of such problems. An important aim is to balance academic material and practical applications.
