Abstract: In order to predict the level of ship collision dangers and evaluate the consequences of collisions, the mutual information was used to improve the traditional BN and a prediction model of ship collision risk grades was built. Firstly, the risk factors of ship collision danger grades were identified based on the historical data on ship collision accidents. Second, the qualitative part of the BN was established by the mutual information and conditional mutual information values calculated to determine the independence and independence of conditions between risk factors, and the dependencies between the factors were determined. According to data on the 516 accidents, a conditional probability table(CPT) was obtained to determine the quantitative part of BN. Finally, the feasibility and accuracy of the model were validated by using the data on the Yangtze River historical accidents. The result shows that the prediction accuracy obtained using model is up to 94%, which can well predict the ship collision risk level.
