The drivers are the main receivers and responders of the external environment while the ship navigation as well as the core of the maritime traffic systems. Their behaviors will direct influence the safety of the maritime traffic operation. However, maritime traffic models have only considered open sea without complex narrow channel traffic environment. Whereas the narrow channel performs various traffic characteristics with respect to its high density traffic flow; the narrow channel can efficiency describe the vessel behaviors under encounter situations including vessel following and near head on etc. The simulated area included a junction and a slight approach channel with high maritime traffic density within the YangShan port of Shanghai. According to use vessel handling simulator to gather throttle, rudder, DCPA (distance to closest point of approach), TCPA (time to closest point of approach) and others key parameters under following scenario when the vessels off the harbor. Furthermore, a microcosmic vessel behavior is analyzed combined with dynamic vessel factors (velocity and course) and external influence factors (wind and visibility). Analysis results can be insight into the real vessel behavior for each vessel category, meanwhile can improve current maritime traffic model.
