Collision Risk Estimation for Motorways of the Sea
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Motorways of the Sea is rather a new concept and, thus, is still in the process of development by the European Commission and in the Baltic Sea Region. The Baltic Sea Region is one of the most dynamic growth areas. Due to this fact the new ideas and technologies are needed to optimize the sea transport system. In the paper the simulation model for the system safety state evaluation is presented. The simulation program can constitute a base for decision-support tool, on the level of safety management, especially to optimally plan the safety transport system.

Identification of Hazardous Situations using Kernel Density Estimation Method Based on Time to Collision, Case study: Left-turn on Unsignalized Intersection
The first step in improving traffic safety is identifying hazardous situations. Based on traffic accidents’ data, identifying hazardous situations in roads and the network is possible. However, in small areas such as intersections, especially in maneuvers resolution, identifying hazardous situations is impossible using accident’s data. In this paper, time-to-collision (TTC) as a traffic conflic...

Every year, migratory waterfowl are hunted and consumed by people in Golestan Province of Iran. Due to the heavy metal contamination of wintering habitats, an estimation of the human health risks associated with the consumption of these ducks is necessary. Therefore, this study was conducted to estimate the health risks of exposure to cadmium (Cd), total chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), and...
متن کاملA framework for risk assessment for maritime transportation systems - A case study for open sea collisions involving RoPax vessels
Maritime accidents involving ships carrying passengers may pose a high risk with respect to human casualties. For effective risk mitigation, an insight into the process of risk escalation is needed. This requires a proactive approach when it comes to risk modelling for maritime transportation systems. Most of the existing models are based on historical data on maritime accidents, and thus they ...
