AIS Data Charts a Safer Course Through Complex Bridge Waters

Annual vessel movements dropped from 7,199 to 6,613 between 2023 and 2024 near Zhanjiang Bay Bridge, yet ship-ship collision frequency rose by nearly 65 percent. That counterintuitive finding underscores a critical insight: raw traffic counts alone cannot capture real navigational risk. By reconstructing AIS-informed route networks, researchers identified concentrated danger zones at bridge approaches and channel intersections. Understanding these patterns empowers smarter traffic management and bridge protection, not reactive alarm, but precise, data-driven action.
