Framework to analyze construction labor productivity using fuzzy data clustering and multi-criteria decision-making
Download2020-01-01
Kazerooni, Matin, Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Construction labor productivity (CLP) has a significant impact on the performance and profitability of construction projects. A construction project can benefit from improved labor productivity in many ways, such as a shorter project life cycle and lower project cost. However, budget and resource...

Airport leakage is a phenomenon that occurs when air passengers choose to travel longer surface distances to take advantage of better air services at an out-of-region airport (which we term the “substitute” airport), instead of using their local airport as would be expected (Suzuki & Audino,...

The variables that characterize construction organizational competencies are both quantitative and qualitative in nature, and thus require measurement methods and modeling techniques that can handle both variable types. Models that are capable of relating organizational competencies to...

Measurement of construction labor productivity involves various subjective factors (e.g., motivation, stress, and fatigue). Most measurement approaches for subjective factors in productivity applications require manual data collection (e.g., questionnaires, interviews, and observations);...

Li, R., El-Basyouny, K., Kim, A.
This study examined the safety effects of the City of Edmonton’s mobile enforcement program. Four years of city-wide monthly collision data, enforcement statistics, and employment rate data was incorporated in a generalized linear Poisson model. It was found that the estimations of the...

The Airspace Flow Program (AFP) ground delays flights in order to control their flow through capacity constrained airspace regions. It has been successful in controlling traffic with reasonable delays, but the procedures must be improved upon to handle future projected demands. This paper...

Consensus building and optimization in group decision-making for the risk assessment of Wind Farm Project
Download2020-01-01
Hao, Yajie, Kedir, Nebiyu Siraj, Seresht, Nima Gerami, Pedrycz, Witold, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Infrastructure projects for harnessing renewable energy (e.g., wind farm projects) have recently gained popularity because of their low adverse impact on the environment. However, it is challenging to perform risk assessments for these projects because data are either scarce or of low quality....

This paper introduces an empirically driven, nonparametric method to isolate and estimate the effects of demand and throughput changes to observed changes in flight delay. Classical queuing model concepts were used to develop a method by which an intermediate queuing scenario could be...
