Introducing 4M Overturned Pyramid (MOP) Model to Analyze Accidents in Maritime Traffic System (MTS): A Case Study on Collisions in Japan Based on Occurrence Time

Abstract:

This paper applies the 4M overturned pyramid (MOP) model to analyze collisions in Japan with the point of view of occurrence time, i.e., day, night, and twilight time. The MOP model is a newly developed model by the authors. Utilizing this model, the characteristics of accidents in a certain place and certain period can be determined to identify the most common causative factors and line relation leading to the accident. In this study, 20 accident reports that have been re-analyzed by the MOP model obtained from the JTSB website for the period 2008-2013.
