Congestion Risk Assessment of a Waterway Hub Based on Matter-element Model
As an important part of constructing a comprehensive transport system,the level of congestion as-sessment of a waterway hub will provide decision basis for smooth and safe operation of the whole waterway.It focuses on the waterway hub that is likely to occurs the risk of congestion anytime,systematically analyzes the in-fluential factors related to it.Through the establishment of matter-element model,the regional correlation func-tion analysis method and hierarchical analysis method are applied to assess the congestion of the hub,based on which the corresponding countermeasures are formulated to improve the efficiency of the transit,which can effec-tively guarantee the smooth flow and ship safety in the process of the operation.
