Abstract: Remoteness has a crucial role in risk assessments of megaprojects, resilience assessments of communities and infrastructure, and a wide range of public policymaking. The existing measures of remoteness require an extensive ...

Abstract: A Bayesian belief network (BBN) can be a powerful tool in decision making processes. Development of a BBN requires data or expert knowledge to assist in determining the structure and probabilistic parameters in the model. ...

Abstract: At the time of an emergency, building evacuation is a complex safety procedure. Emergencies by definition occur quickly and unexpectedly. Effective and timely decision making during this period requires a comprehensive ...

Abstract: Interpersonal conflicts at work (ICW) have been widely regarded as a job stressor; however, it is rarely linked to physical safety outcomes. The ICW primarily has two forms on a construction site: conflicts with supervisors ...

Abstract: A fast and computationally efficient valuation tool assists governments involved in Public–Private Partnership (P3) projects to examine many contractual configurations and design a guarantee that minimizes cost and reasonably ...

Abstract: Earthmoving plants are essential but costly resources in the construction of heavy civil engineering projects. In addition to proper allocation, ongoing control of this equipment is necessary to ensure and increase the ...

Abstract: Research was undertaken to develop a method to assist in the determination of the lower and upper activity duration values for schedule risk analysis by program evaluation and review technique analysis or Monte Carlo ...

Abstract: Safety climate and safety performance in construction projects vary at an organization level and group level. However, the differences between supervisors and construction workers are rarely examined. This study compared ...

Abstract: The data collected by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) provide unique opportunities for applications, such as construction progress tracking and facility monitoring. To increase the effectiveness of UAV-captured data, ...

Abstract: Researchers have studied the detection of actual site conditions and the state of construction progress using various field data capture technologies. To fully exploit these solutions, a method was developed to automatically ...
