Yu, Q., Teixeira, A.P., Liu, K. and Guedes Soares, C. (2022), “Framework and application of multi-criteria ship collision risk assessment”, Ocean Engineering, Vol. 250, 111006.

The paper proposes an integrated multi-criteria framework for assessing dynamically the ship collision risk under different scenarios. The framework identifies collision candidates, evaluates collision parameters and weights the importance of each collision parameter in different conditions, according to the ship officers’ experience. The information is aggregated using the evidential reasoning approach allowing real-time collision risk evaluations of collision scenarios. The framework is used to assess the collision risk in Portuguese continental coastal waters to illustrate its applicability. Moreover, the rationality of the proposed framework is assessed through a comparative analysis with other aggregating approaches such as the linear regression and the fuzzy regression models.
