An analysis of the AF is performed for each bridge pier exposed to ship collision. From this analysis, the impact lateral resistance can be determined for each pier. The bridge pier impact resistance is selected using a probability-based analysis procedure in which the predicted AF, from the ship collision risk assessment is compared to an acceptance criterion. In this study, the acceptance criterion is allocated to each pier using allocation weights based on the previous predictions. To determine the design impact lateral resistance of bridge components such pylon and pier, the numerical analysis is performed iteratively with the analysis variable of impact resistance ratio of pylon to pier. The design impact lateral resistance can vary greatly among the components of the same bridge, depending upon the waterway geometry, available water depth, bridge geometry, and vessel traffic characteristics.

Evaluation of the quantitative risk of collision plays a key role in developing the expert system of navigation and collision avoidance. This study analysed thoroughly how to determine the threshold of avoidance sector as described in the new evaluation of collision risk, and suggested the collision risk obtained by the alteration of course and/or speed in order to pass clear qf each danger zone as the threshold of avoidance sector.

Evaluating the risk of collision quantitatively plays a key role in developing the expert system of navigation and collision avoidance. This study analysed thoroughly how to determine the threshold function related to the avoidance time as described in the new evaluation of collision risk using sech function, and developed the appropriate equation as applicable.

To prepare the integrated safety management system 'e-navigation', research is being conducted on the route exchange for sharing intended routes between ship and ship, and between ship and land. But they don't have enough specific grounds for the effects of route exchange and the necessity of its introduction and focus on technical aspects like the implementation of route exchange. This study tried to quantitatively analyze the effects of route exchange on sailing safety with the use of ship handling simulation, integrate simulation performers' subjective evaluations, and investigate the effects of route exchange. The ship-to-ship route exchange resulted in the initial collision avoidance action time was 3.43 minutes faster, the collision avoidance direction change rate was 60 %, the proximity to target A was 31 %, and Mean Rudder Angle Index decreased by 57 %. In addition, 95 % of the survey respondents had an effect on the decision making of collision avoidance, 85 % had a positive impact on safety navigation, 90 % had an accident prevention effect, 70 % reduced the psychological burden of officers, and 70 % should be introduced in practice.

Various efforts are needed to prevent accidents because ship collisions can cause various negative situations such as economic losses and casualties. Therefore, research to prevent accidents is being actively conducted, and in this study, new leading indicators for preventing ship collision accidents is proposed. In previous studies, the risk of collision was expressed in consideration of the distance between ships in a specific sea area, but there is a disadvantage that a new model needs to be developed to apply this to other sea areas. In this study, the density-based ship domain DESD (Density-based Empirical Ship Domain) including the environment and operating characteristics of the sea area was defined using AIS (Automatic Identification System) data, which is ship operation information. Deep clustering is applied to two-dimensional DESDs created for each sea area to cluster the seas with similar operating environments. Through the analysis of the relationship between clustered sea areas and ship collision accidents, it was statistically tested that the occurrence of accidents varies by characteristic of each sea area, and it was proved that DESD can be used as a leading indicator of accidents.

A mis-handling of the ship operators, treated as one qf the main causes of a ship accidents, normally has caused a ship to collide with obstacles like a reef, a rock and other ships etc. since their ability has been declining little by little even though the port conditions have been getting worse. The ship needs a highly sophisticated technology as her size and speed increase as the ship have been demanded. For example, Auto Avoidance Control System gradually has been receiving a growing interest to control the entire ship safely. From that purpose, this research has been done. The research was based on the MMG mathematical model, used Surge-Sway-Yaw-Roll motion equation and Fuzzy theory for calculating the collision-risk Also the research successively was done when the ship encountered continual multitude ships.

In this study, an analytical algorithm for collision avoidance is proposed, which is applicable to designing collision avoidance maneuvers for two encountering ships. The minimum separation distance is defined and an appropriate maneuver sequence is computed for safe and effective collision avoidance. Two approaches: 1) collision avoidance through speed change and 2) collision avoidance through heading change, are considered, and the initiation point of the avoidance maneuver is computed analytically using the geometric configuration of the two encountering ships. To verify the feasibility of the proposed algorithm, numerical simulations are carried out using a set of ship-to-ship encountering scenarios.

The number of marine accidents have been decreased since various equipments for navigation control have been introduced to the marine vessels. However, disastrous marine accidents such as ship collisions are occurred more frequently. Therefore, IMO(International Maritime Organization) is enforcing the design requirement of structural strength for marine vessel. Also EU countries are developing new design methodologies and design tools to suggest the design guidance which can minimize the damage of commercial vessels in case of marine collision accidents. In this study, an integrated design system for the safety assessment has been presented to enhance the safety of damaged ships in marine collision accidents. The architecture of system is described by use-cases and IDEF functional analysis. Then an integrated system for safety assessment of damaged ship which is considering both damage stability and structural safety has been developed to support the ship design in early stage.

In collision avoidance problem of a ship, collision risk model is usually set up using the interview results fron experts who sit on a simulator by varying parameters, in which DCPA and TCPA are commonly used. This method, however, has the weakness in that not only it is expensive but also it shows different results depending on the inerviewees and other navigational parameters. In this study, a fuzzy inference system is designed based on own ship's maneuverability verified fron simulation instead of interviewing navigators. The time and distance corresponding to the collision risk value on which avoidance maneuver should be started are set to the minimum marginal time at which own ship starts maneuvering and the minimum marginal distance suggested by marine traffic rules respectively. This system can be recorfigured as a nonlinearity-strengthened one by increasing the number of fuzzy membership functions.
