A vessel collision avoidance system is a topic that has been deeply studied, and it is a specialization in navigation technology. The automatic identification system (AIS) has been used to support navigation, route estimation, collision prediction, and abnormal traffic detection. This article examined the main elements of ship collision, developed a mathematical model for the risk assessment, and simulated a collision assessment based on AIS information, thereby providing meaningful recommendations for crew training and a warning system, in conjunction with the AIS on board.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a11120204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,14]],"date-time":"2018-12-14T04:44:42Z","timestamp":1544762682000},"page":"204","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["A Novel Method for Risk Assessment and Simulation of Collision Avoidance for Vessels based on AIS"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"ManhCuong","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Science and Technology College, Dalian Maritime University, Dalian 116026, China"},{"name":"Vietnam Maritime University, Haiphong 35000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shufang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Science and Technology College, Dalian Maritime University, Dalian 116026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8608-0384","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoye","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Science and Technology College, Dalian Maritime University, Dalian 116026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atmosenv.2016.08.086","article-title":"Estimating ship emissions based on AIS data for port of Tianjin, China","volume":"145","author":"Chen","year":"2016","journal-title":"Atmos.
