Analysis of Black Spot of Traffic Accident in Wuhan Port

The proposal to build the “Yangtze River Golden Waterway” strategy has enabled the shipbuilding volume of the Yangtze River trunk to grow rapidly. With the increase of ship traffic flow, the Yangtze River water traffic safety is facing severe challenges. This paper draws on the road traffic black spots and existing research methods of water traffic accidents and the definition of water traffic black spots. The DBSCAN algorithm and the accident-level weighted average method are used to establish the blackpoint identification model for waterborne traffic. The model is applied to the Yangtze River mid-stream Wuhan Port 2013-2017 water traffic safety accident as an example. Ten black spots and corresponding boundaries are identified. The black point analysis method used in this paper can effectively quantitatively analyze the spatial distribution and characteristics of water traffic black spots, which can provide a new theoretical basis for ensuring the safety of water traffic.
