Waterway Traffic Safety Evaluation Based on the Factor Analysis Method

With the continuous advancement of economic globalization, international trade has been developing rapidly, and Marine transportation is an important part of international trade. Shipping and port are facing greater opportunities for development, the shipping industry gradually to the modernization, specialization, large-scale rapid development. The rapid increase of the number of ships, the tonnage of ships, the flow of ships, the density of ships, and the busier of the channel traffic, these changes make the navigable conditions of navigable waters. Under the limited port water conditions, the ship traffic density increases, the ship distress probability increases, and the navigation environment becomes more complex, which make the water transportation safety face greater challenges and threats. The waters of dense traffic flow, danger, accidents, the importance of its navigation safety assessment is self-evident. Preventing some accident risk in the process of ship navigation has become the main content of navigation safety risk management. How to use appropriate methods to evaluate the navigation safety of Shantou waterway is of great significance to improve the management level. Therefore, it is necessary to scientifically and reasonably and accurately evaluate the safety situation of the navigable environment according to the current situation of maritime traffic changes. Combined with the natural environment and navigation situation of water area, this paper establishes various factors that may affect the traffic of water area and establishes the evaluation index system of water traffic safety. Combined with the factor analysis method and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to analyze the safety of the water traffic environment, the evaluation results can provide a decision-making basis for the maritime safety management work.
