AbstractAn approach for measuring effects of policy schemes for improving marine traffic safety at channels is presented. Operational models involving traffic, channel, and ship characteristics are provided, and both collision and channel deviation risks of actual channels are quantified using them. Moreover, traffic control, speed regulation, and center line indication are considered as channel safety policies, and their effects are also measured using the models. The results suggest that the speed regulation scheme is effective in reducing accident risk in channels. It is concluded that methodology demonstrated and knowledge obtained in this study are useful for planning and safe operation of channels.
