Abstract

Domain analysis has a well-documented history in peer reviewed academic literature; however there are few instances of its application to facilitate the assessment of system specific navigation risk. This paper details one example of a practical approach to domain analysis for a busy section of the River Thames in Central London. The results correlate well to known high risk collision areas on the river and help to quantify and corroborate expert opinion and local knowledge. However a number of conditions must be accounted for in undertaking a robust study such as the geography of the study site, the purpose and audience of the research, and the availability of data and its limitations.
