Statistical Analysis of Ship Accidents between the Three Gorges and Gezhouba Dam

摘要

After the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, ship accidents occurredin the channel between the Three Gorges and Gezhouba dam haveincreased significantly. The existing regulations are based onexperiences which lack of rigorous scientific proof. This paperestablishes a detailed database of the navigation environment,statistically analyzes the accidents, summarizes the distribution rules ofvarious parameters, finds the ship’s own and environmental variablesthat induced the accidents, and provides control variables which basedon the channel environment and ship accidents for the establishing ofmore scientific, rigorous navigation-safety regulations.
