Özet

This paper aims to analyze maritime traffic safety assessment via a traffic flow simulation model. The model was developed via the NetLogo platform, agent-based modeling, and simulation approach. And it is implemented on an open sea area, at the Aegean Sea to show its applicability. The model is verified through experiments conducted in the area. The simulation outputs give the risky locations and scores. Dangerous locations and risk scores in the area are determined as the outputs of the simulation runs. A traffic separation scheme is established to prove the model's suitability as adaptable and updatable. After the scheme is implemented, the potential collision locations and scores change considerably. The developed model is convenient to simulate various conditions by changing the input parameters on maritime traffic safety.
