Abstract

From the viewpoint of navigation safety, it would be best if it’s possible to build a bridge whose mains span is wide enough, however, sometimes it may not be possible due to geographical or economic reason. To construct the bridge on the shipping route, consideration factors for marine traffic safety must be investigated and examined from the viewpoint of marine traffic engineering. This study aims to secure marine traffic safety and maintain smoothly traffic flow through assessment of these factors. As the first step, examination factors such as traffic volume, ship size and bridge width were assessed quantitatively using marine traffic flow simulation technique.
