Research on Risk Assessment of Vessel-Bridge Collision Accident in Inland Waterway

The Ship-Bridge collision accident risk evaluation model based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was established and the weights of factors were confirmed. Qualitative and quantitative assessments of the Vessel-Bridge collision accident risk level were accomplished. The application results show that the possibility of Ship-Bridge collision accident could be evaluated by the security risk evaluation model based on the AHP. It can provide decision-making suggestions for the sitting of the new bridge and optimal evaluation for bridge type scheme.
