Systematical, reasonable and feasible water traffic safety evaluation is an important basic work to build a long-term effective mechanism of safety. In this paper, on the base of safety systems engineering, water transportation systems engineering and other theories, and traffic characteristics of Wuhu Section of the Yangtze River, we proposed a reasonable, exercisable and effective comprehensive evaluation method for water traffic risks—AREEAC, which estimates accident rates synthetically, environmental effects and accident consequences in waterways. And a comprehensive evaluation model basing on AREEAC is set up to estimate traffic risks of the busy waterways in the Yangze River apart from an empirical researching on Wuhu section of Yangze River. The researching results consistent with actual situation in general. Besides, the corresponding measures to control risks are proposed according to the results of safety risks assessment.
