Publication: ICTIS 2011: Multimodal Approach to Sustained Transportation System Development: Information, Technology, Implementation
Abstract
With the development of international trade, the freight volume of the inland waterway transport has increased significantly. However, the status of water traffic safety in the inland water is not so optimistic. Authorities need to strengthen the management of water traffic safety, and do effective prevention and monitoring of ship traffic accidents. This paper firstly selects some appropriate evaluation indexes based on the status analysis of the Xiangjiang river water traffic safety. Then, by using the matter-element theory and extension set theory, the comprehensive evaluation model is established to evaluate the condition of water traffic safety in the Xiangjiang River. Finally, there will be given an example to illustrate the method. The evaluation method can help the authorities to improve the condition of water traffic safety in the Xiangjiang River and also help them to prevent the traffic accident in the Xiangjiang River timely.
