Abstract

[Aim] It is essential to set up a simplified causation model in the Grand Canal so as to prevent ship-ship collision frequently. [Data] from year 2018 to 2022, 217 ship collision accidents retrieved from Suzhou Wujiang section. [Method] To apply a complex network model, a visibility graph algorithm could be given by converting time-difference series into a complex network, which aims to the features of the accident time series. The object set retrieved from the core concepts of two typical accident black spots, which the attribute set extracted from causation factors. Therefore, a causal concept lattice of ship collision accidents in the Grand Canal was set up. [Conclusion] A concept reduction analysis method is brought out to extract the basic reasons of two typical black spots. Thus, the strongest correlated cause are as followings: flotillas entering and leaving main route, risky overtaking, inconsistent intentions to give way, narrow navigable canal width, poor sight lines and negligence of lookout.
