However, waterway dredging carries numerous risks. Statistics show that accidents occur annually in dredging areas, causing significant property damage and personal injury, greatly impacting businesses and individuals. Analysis of dredging vessel accidents reveals that most are not accidental and possess a degree of predictability. Real-time monitoring, prediction, and early warning systems can help mitigate or avoid losses.

[0174] Step S91: Connect to the risk assessment module to obtain risk warning information.
[0175] Step S92: Based on the type of risk warning information, automatically generate different risk emergency plans. For example, if the risk warning information is a collision risk, immediately anchor and set sail, while simultaneously driving away vessels sailing near the construction area; if the risk warning information is a grounding risk, based on the predicted grounding time, anchor and set sail at an appropriate time to proceed to other deep-water areas for construction; if the risk warning information is a strong wind risk in severe weather, based on the predicted arrival time of the strong wind, anchor and set sail at an appropriate time to proceed to the designated maritime anchorage for shelter; if the risk warning information is a high water level risk in severe weather, based on the predicted arrival time of the high water level, suspend work and operations on-site.
[0176] Step S93: According to the risk emergency plan, reminders are given through voice broadcasts, flashing alarm lights, text messages, etc., and risk warning information and risk emergency plan are pushed to the three-dimensional digital twin system.
