Sarkar, D and Singh, M (2021) Development of risk index for mass rapid transit system project in Western India through application of fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP). International Journal of Construction Management, 21(5), pp. 439-451. ISSN 1562-3599
Abstract
Mass rapid transit system projects like elevated corridor metro rail construction involves activities like segment casting, segment transportation and segment erection that are extremely risky in nature and need to be implemented very carefully. This article is an attempt to develop risk index for the elevated corridor metro rail construction project in Western India. The risk index is created by application of fuzzy analytical hierarchy process to the quality parameters associated with the segment casting, piling work, pier construction, segment transportation, segment erection with launching girder, jointing of segments and pre-stressing operations. This risk index would help the project authorities associated with ongoing and upcoming metro rail projects to identify and categorize the most risky activities and plan suitable risk mitigation measures accordingly. This would help the metro rail project to be completed successfully within stipulated time and cost frame.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
