RESEARCH ON INLAND WATERWAY TRAFFIC ACCIDENT TRENDS IN VIETNAM THROUGH MAPS DURING THE PERIOD 2017 – 2024

The primary objective of the study is to analyze and evaluate the situation and trends of inland waterway traffic accidents in Vietnam from 2017 to 2024. The study employs reliable secondary data sources, which are analyzed using statistical methods and heatmap applications to examine and assess trends in inland waterway traffic accidents in Vietnam. The results indicate a steady increase in both the number and scale of inland waterway accidents nationwide over the years. Additionally, the accident-prone areas in key inland waterways will be identified. Based on these findings, the research team has proposed recommendations and solutions aimed at improving traffic safety on Vietnam's inland waterways.
