Abstract

Shocking ship-bridge collisions indicate that there's large space in the previous bridge anti-collision technology research. There are several advantages in the risk-based anti-collision technology of the bridges. Thus the databases such as SpringerLink, Elsevier ScienceDirect and CNKI, the Chinese database, are included to collect literature for the purpose of examining the probabilistic models. Reviewing the current representative models, this paper argues some limitations in the models, such as the questionable applicability of models, the neglected affects of pier turbulent zones as well as some inaccuracies in the mathematical formulations. Accordingly, the paper revises the current models and also addresses increasing the representativeness of samples with sufficient experiments. This paper explores the topic for its potential applications, and aims to make some contribution to the references on the topic so as to popularize and promote the technology in a real sense.

Highlights

  • Shocking ship-bridge collisions indicate that bridge anti-collision technology research still has very large space in that the practicality and operability of the research results need further proof

  • Reviewing the current representative models, this paper argues some limitations in the models, such as the questionable applicability of models, the neglected affects of pier turbulent zones as well as some inaccuracies in the mathematical formulations

Summary

Introduction

Shocking ship-bridge collisions indicate that bridge anti-collision technology research still has very large space in that the practicality and operability of the research results need further proof. The author used PDFGeni and Google as search engines to collect literature, with bridge anti-collision as key words. The databases such as SpringerLink, Elsevier ScienceDirect and CNKI, the Chinese database, were included. The literature review found that previous risk-based studies on the bridge anti-collision at home and abroad are comparatively deficient. Based on the previous researches at home and abroad, this paper reviews and comments on the present researches on the probabilistic models for ship-bridge collision, discusses the limitations of the studies, and addresses the corresponding improvements, attempting to make some contributions to the present literature
