An Influence of the Order to Maintain Minimum Distance Between Successive Vessels on the Vessel Traffic Intensity in the Narrow Fairways
1 Maritime University of Szczecin, Szczecin, Poland
ABSTRACT: All vessel traffic regulations disturb the randomness of the vessel traffic stream. In this paper the disturbing factor is the order to maintain minimum distance between successive vessels. The intensity of the disturbed vessel traffic has been determined. To achieve this goal the convolution method has been used. Next the connection between traffic stream parameters and this disturbed intensity has been analysed.
