Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water traffic risk assessment, and particularly relates to a method for constructing a dynamic assessment model of water traffic risk. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the development of ship specialization and large-scale, the density of ships in important waters and waterways is increasing, the water traffic environment is becoming increasingly complex, and water traffic accident risks such as ship collisions, groundings, fires, and leaks occur frequently. According to the national water traffic safety situation, accident risks occur frequently in complex waters such as the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, bridge areas, and busy waters. When ships navigate in complex waters, they are affected by factors such as waterway conditions, traffic flow, hydrometeorological conditions, and navigation obstacles, and there are relatively large water traffic safety risks. Traditional water traffic safety risk assessment methods such as the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE) are better applicable to the sea, but the application of AHP and FCE in the identification and evaluation of water traffic safety risks in complex waters has great limitations. As a result, there are large deviations and lags in the early warning and pre-control of water traffic safety risks based solely on the evaluation results of AHP and FCE during the maritime supervision process, which causes the maritime supervision decision-making department to be unable to effectively identify the traffic safety risks in the supervised waters and reduces the energy efficiency of the maritime supervision department in traffic safety risk early warning. The early warning and pre-control of water traffic safety risks are key issues that need to be solved in the development process of ship-shore integrated management, and the dynamic evaluation method of traffic comprehensive risk applicable to complex waters is the bottleneck restricting the realization of early warning and pre-control.

[0003] In the prior art, the research on the water traffic safety system is not deep enough, and the research on the characteristics and structure of the water traffic safety system is lacking, resulting in the construction of existing water traffic risk assessment models mostly based on static indicators, and the dynamic and regional applicability of the evaluation models is poor. The structure of the water traffic system is abstract and the dynamic characteristics are complex. To establish a generally applicable water traffic risk evaluation model, it is necessary to deeply explore the internal causes and action laws of risk generation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for constructing a dynamic assessment model of water traffic risk. Based on the information flow theory and Bayesian network, the present invention creatively cuts in from the perspective of internal information interaction of the human-ship-environment system, deeply explores the internal relationship between abnormal information interaction of the water traffic system and water traffic risk, and conducts research from three aspects: the internal structure characteristics and measurement of the water traffic system, the extraction of dynamic characteristics of water traffic risk, and the establishment of a dynamic evaluation model of water traffic system risk, forming a systematic theory and method for comprehensive dynamic evaluation of complex water area traffic, providing theoretical and technical support for early warning and pre-control of water traffic safety risks. The present invention has important theoretical and practical significance in breaking through the limitations of traditional AHP and FCE in static evaluation of water traffic safety risks, innovating water traffic risk theories and methods, promoting the cross-integration of water traffic engineering disciplines and systems science, and boosting ship-shore integrated intelligent management, etc.

[0005] The specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] 1) Collecting statistical data and investigation reports of ship accidents in a certain water area to obtain the elements of the water traffic system;

[0017] Furthermore, the internal structural features include:

[0020] Furthermore, the internal information set of the water traffic system includes: human-human interaction information, human-ship interaction information, ship-ship interaction information, and ship-shore interaction information.

[0022] Furthermore, the abnormal scenarios of internal information flow in the water traffic system include:

[0023] Information transmission delay, information blockage, information overflow, information error, information misunderstanding, and information concealment.

[0024] Furthermore, the analysis of abnormal scenarios of internal information flow in the navigation system includes the following steps:

[0025] The first step is to use the classification method to statistically analyze different forms of interaction information and analyze the impacts of navigation environment, navigation rules, crew quality, and management system factors on internal information interaction in the navigation system;

[0026] In the second step, complex network analysis method is adopted to obtain the information spatial distribution characteristics of the water traffic system, and to explore the generation, transformation, dissipation process and external triggering conditions of the uneven information distribution;

[0027] In the third step, the standard deviation measurement method is used to measure the unevenness of the information flow in the navigation system; the unevenness includes the information flow fluctuation amplitude, the information imbalance rate, and the information anomaly threshold;

[0034] The larger the I(X;Y) value of the risk indicator, the stronger the correlation and the higher the ranking.

[0035] Furthermore, the screening of the Bayesian network nodes includes the following processing process:

[0036] For specific risk operation indicators, if the calculated I(X;Y) value is less than 0.05, then the risk operation indicator will be deleted, and the corresponding Bayesian network node will also be removed from the Bayesian network;

[0037] For specific risk operation indicators, if the calculated I(X;Y) value is greater than or equal to 0.05, then the risk operation indicator will be retained, and the corresponding Bayesian network node will also be retained in the Bayesian network.

[0038] Furthermore, in the Bayesian network structure, it also includes the optimization of the Bayesian network structure: on the basis of the screening of Bayesian network nodes, the Bayesian network structure is dynamically adjusted based on the network structure adaptive learning method.

[0039] The advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows: By constructing a dynamic evaluation model for water traffic risks, the present invention realizes the dynamic evaluation of the risks of the water traffic system. Starting from the internal structural characteristics of the water traffic system, by deeply exploring the abnormal interaction of information flows in the internal structure of the water traffic system, finding the internal relationship between the abnormal information interaction and water traffic risks, and extracting dynamic operation indicators of risks, a dynamic evaluation model is established in combination with a Bayesian network.
