4.5.2 Cross<strong>in</strong>g collision frequency<br />
Any ship-ship collision that does not <strong>in</strong>volve two ships sail<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>the</strong> same<br />
route is classified as cross<strong>in</strong>g collision.<br />
In a first step, it has to be clarified, whe<strong>the</strong>r two ships can <strong>the</strong>oretically collide.<br />
This is only <strong>the</strong> case, if <strong>the</strong>ir traces <strong>in</strong>tersect. Essentially, <strong>the</strong>re are two basic<br />
k<strong>in</strong>ds <strong>of</strong> cross<strong>in</strong>gs: X-cross<strong>in</strong>gs (full <strong>in</strong>tersection) and Y-cross<strong>in</strong>gs (merg<strong>in</strong>g<br />
traffic):<br />
Figure 9<br />
X-type cross<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Figure 10<br />
Y-type cross<strong>in</strong>g with and without <strong>in</strong>tersection<br />
For X-cross<strong>in</strong>gs, basic prerequisite for collision is given <strong>in</strong> every s<strong>in</strong>gle cross<strong>in</strong>g<br />
event. For Y-cross<strong>in</strong>gs, this applies only to one out <strong>of</strong> two cross<strong>in</strong>g events<br />
on average.<br />
All o<strong>the</strong>r, more complex cross<strong>in</strong>g types, such as two-lane Y-cross<strong>in</strong>gs or<br />
roundabouts can be modelled as an array <strong>of</strong> several X- and Y-cross<strong>in</strong>gs (see<br />
Appendix A).<br />
On this basis, collision frequency is calculated based on<br />
