The inland water transport plays a significant role in the comprehensive transport system of China. Theories and models concerning vessel traffic flow simulation and characteristics have been developed rapidly in recent several decades. In this paper, the influence of deep water channel regulation construction of Yangtze River (China) on vessel traffic flow has been identified. Probabilistic distributions of vessel size, vessel speed and traffic volume are investigated. In view of the complex navigational environment, Monte Carlo simulation has been adopted for vessel traffic flow investigation. The results indicate a favorable agreement between model predictions and field observations. Moreover, the LCG algorithm used in the MCS could be further improved to accomplish better simulation. The present study provides a useful basis for research on inland ship behavior and navigational risk assessment.
