Abstract
With the increase in maritime transport, ship collision accidents have occurred frequently and caused serious impacts on maritime traffic safety and the environment. In this research, a new method combining the ontology model and Bayesian network is proposed to address liability division for ship collision accidents. Firstly, 241 maritime traffic accident reports were collected from the China Maritime Safety Administration (CHINA MSA) between 2018 and 2021. Then, the improved Apriori algorithm is proposed to extract strong association rules and to construct the ship collision negligence ontology based on accident reports. After that, the liability division model is obtained by the ontology mapping Bayesian network and the maximum likelihood estimation method is used for parameter learning for this model. Finally, the proposed method is verified using sample data from the accident reports. The results showed a good capability of liability division for ship collision accidents of the proposed model. This method could serve as a powerful tool for liability division for ship collision accidents in maritime traffic.
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.
