Risk assessment of collisions of an autonomous passenger ferry

Autonomous transportation is an increasingly popular concept and gradually becoming a reality. This transformation also changes the way people travel. For example, autonomous ferry emerging alternative for residents living in coastal areas. To evaluate safety of ferry, thorough review necessary. paper makes initial attempt by developing model performing risk assessment collisions between ship with manned vessels applying this to specific operating canal. The barriers prevent collision are identified, as well respective failure modes. A Bayesian belief network employed quantitively assess ferry. Relevant data collected perform quantitative analysis. By running model, likelihood calculated. sensitivity analysis performed identify most contributing causes.
