Abstract
The contributions of human factors and operational conditions to different types of maritime accidents are distinct yet interconnected. The present study aims to examine the distinct and joint contributions of human factors and operational conditions to six types of maritime accidents using a data-driven approach. By integrating the improved Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), association rule mining (ARM), and Bayesian Network (BN), a data-driven BN model is developed based on an analysis of 594 maritime accidents that occurred between 2014 and 2023. With the developed BN model, a comprehensive BN analysis including correlation analysis, sensitivity analysis, and scenario simulation is conducted. The individual contribution of human factors and operational conditions to different types of maritime accidents is determined and ranked. Furthermore, the joint contributions of human factors in the presence of different operational conditions are investigated and quantified. The developed BN model provides a valuable tool for predicting accident types, aiding maritime stakeholders in implementing targeted safety measures and enhancing the overall safety of maritime operations.
期刊介绍:
Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels.
We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts.
Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
