A Novel Ship Domain-oriented Parameter of Ship Collision Risk Considering the Ship Maneuverability and Encounter Situation

Abstract

The identification of ship collision risks is an important element in maritime safety and management. The concept of the ship domain has also been studied and developed since it was proposed. Considering the existing trend that the ship domain is increasingly widely used in collision risk-related research, a new domain-oriented collision risk factor, i.e., the current state of domain (CSD), is introduced in this paper, which can effectively reflect the current state and show a certain predictability of collision risk from the perspective of the ship domain. To further prove the rationality of the CSD, a series of different simulations consisting of three typical encounter scenarios were conducted, verifying the superiority of the proposed parameter.
