Abstract
This study investigates the influencing factors of maritime accidents using a data-driven approach integrated with large language models (LLMs). First, DeepSeek V3 is utilized to extract data on humans, vessels, management, environment, time, and space from maritime accident reports. Second, the N-K model is applied to analyze coupled risks, revealing that the coupled risk value of the four factors is the highest, with humans, vessels, and management being key factors, while the environmental factor exerts a significant impact in specific accidents. Further spatiotemporal analysis indicates phased temporal risks and spatially aggregated coastal risks. A significant nonlinear superposition effect is identified: high spatial risk amplifies the marginal contribution of temporal risk increases, while low-level coupling significantly reduces overall risk. The study culminates in proposing a dynamic collaborative governance framework. This framework leverages an integrated cognitive architecture, powered by LLMs, to transform unstructured data into actionable risk intelligence, enabling graduated intervention protocols and optimized resource allocation for enhanced maritime safety management.
期刊介绍:
Safety Science is multidisciplinary. Its contributors and its audience range from social scientists to engineers. The journal covers the physics and engineering of safety; its social, policy and organizational aspects; the assessment, management and communication of risks; the effectiveness of control and management techniques for safety; standardization, legislation, inspection, insurance, costing aspects, human behavior and safety and the like. Papers addressing the interfaces between technology, people and organizations are especially welcome.
