Vessel Strike Risk maps (2013-2015)

The relative vessel strike risk for various species (humpback whale, green turtle, dugong, seagrass locations and generic species) and selected vessel categories over the 3 year period 2013-2015. Risk is calculated from available animal distribution information ([1][2][3][4][5][6]) and vessel Automatic Information System (AIS) data (supplied by AMSA [7]).

From this, two risk metrics are derived:

1) relative risk of a collision, and

2) for large whales (humpback, sperm, southern right whale): vessel speed vs mortality curves are used to obtain relative risk of a fatal collision. A more detailed description of the underlying data and the risk metrics used is given in [8].

Note that this dataset was collected as part of the following project:

本数据集涵盖2013-2015年三年间，多个物种（座头鲸（humpback whale）、绿海龟（green turtle）、儒艮（dugong）、海草分布区及通用物种（generic species））与选定船舶类别之间的相对船舶撞击风险。风险计算基于现有动物分布资料（[1][2][3][4][5][6]）及船舶自动识别系统（Automatic Information System, AIS）数据（由澳大利亚海事安全局（AMSA）提供[7]）。

由此衍生出两类风险度量标准：
1) 碰撞相对风险；
2) 针对大型鲸类（座头鲸、抹香鲸（sperm whale）、南露脊鲸（southern right whale）），通过船舶航速与死亡率的关联曲线，获取致命碰撞的相对风险。相关基础数据及所采用的风险度量标准的详细说明可参见文献[8]。
