Risk management (RM) in construction projects is a knowledge-intensive process that requires an efficient mechanism for capturing, storing, exploiting, and managing risk-related knowledge. Although some existing studies have proposed various knowledge-based risk management (KBRM) tools. However, not all tools suit all projects, as every project is ...

Uncertainties have a negative impact on the duration of project activities. When an activity faces the higher uncertainty, it is likely to experience larger fluctuations in its duration. This increases the risk of delays. However, classical buffer monitoring methods usually adopt the setting mode of uniform and fixed monitoring time points for diff...

This study investigates a project scheduling problem of prefabricated building (PB) construction in an uncertain environment. Different from the traditional scheduling models in PB construction, we consider a complex multi-stage cooperation system including the production, transportation and assembly (PTA) phases. In this system, both activity dura...

Sewage treatment plants are essential in improving the quality of receiving water bodies, contributing to healthy and sustainable urban development. The increasingly common public-private partnership (PPP) model of sewage treatment facilities may not yield the expected benefits, often compromised by inadequacies in the complex operation-maintenance...

Increasing risks about deficient communication and difficulties in communication management in multinational projects lead to the deployment of project coordinators (PCs). The role of coordinators and their responses to communication issues differ with the organization structure. This study focuses on the communication tendencies in different organ...

During a long-term construction project, numerous stakeholders participate and collaborate with each other. In such scenario, the processes of creating, storing, and managing project documents are highly complicated. Due to the nature of the construction projects, problems arise in document management such as loss of documents and difficulties in t...

The importance of Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) has increased as it guarantees the right to travel and improves mobility for special population groups such as disabled people and low income households. In order for DRT to become a sustainable means of transportation, it is necessary to keep the quality of DRT service above a certain level that ...

Even-headway timetables with easy to memorize departure times are commonly in use in public transport (PT) service. In addition, some PT services are using timetables where their departure times are based on even-passenger-load at the max-load stop along the route. In practice, these two types of timetables are implemented in daily operation plans,...
