Abstract
AbstractThis paper proposes a risk assessment method based on the best‐worst method (BWM) and decision‐making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) to evaluate the fire safety level of alternative design schemes for cruise ships relative to the standard‐based options. Firstly, the analytic hierarchy model of fire safety assessment is constructed by analyzing the passive fire protection system, active fire protection system, and evacuation and escape capability of cruise ship large cabins. Then, the linguistic scale functions and Z‐numbers are used to deal with the fuzzy evaluation of fire safety factors by experts, and the maximizing consensus technique is adopted to determine the weight of each expert to enhance group consistency. Considering the influence degree of each factor on fire safety and the correlation between factors, the BWM is combined with DEMATEL to establish the risk source weight calculation model. The fire safety level of alternative cruise ship designs is further determined by the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation approach. Finally, to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a fire safety assessment is conducted on the alternative design scheme of a luxury cruise passenger restaurant. The results confirm that the proposed method can effectively evaluate the fire safety of alternative design compared to the standard‐based scheme.
