Abstract

Abstract

In order to improve inland waterway capacity, the arrival distribution and headway distribution of vessel traffic flow were analyzed. Based on the data of ship arrival in Xijiang waterway in 2004, the average values of daily-arriving-ship quantity and headway were assumed by mathematical statistics, the observed values of vessel traffic flow were compared with the ones of theory computation by time guarantee percentage method. The result shows that their relative errors are within 5%, the daily-arriving-ship quantity is close to Normal distribution, the headway is close to Erlang distribution in inland waterway.
