dc.description.abstract |
The world transportation system matures day-by-day wherein the congestion growth rate is alarming
while its infrastructure growth has slowed down, which affects the quality of life. Developing highway
infrastructure by utilizing modern technology and knowledge is vital for successful completion of the
projects with least impact to traffic and local economy. Accelerated construction technology is
developed to minimize construction duration; hence, to mitigate congestion, reduce on-site
environmental impacts, and to improve the safety of stakeholders. Selection of construction methods
and technology is based on available funding, proposals from contractors or design-bid-build contracts
that lack many of the factors which should tangibly control the decision of type of facility to be
constructed. The decision group comprising of representatives of owner agency and contractor with
differing preferences, experiences and background requires a framework to negotiate among them to
arrive at an optimal decision for a particular project. The available decision making frameworks include
several simple "Yes"/ "No" answer questions that do not consider relative importance among the
factors providing a transparent methodology or a tool to arrive at the decision. In addition, potential
constraints are not addressed to identify structural systems/configurations with respect to their
performance and construction techniques/technologies for implementation at specific sites. A multicriteria
decision making framework is presented in this paper using highway bridge construction as an
example. The framework is developed using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and accommodates
many quantitative and qualitative factors identified through interviews and review of literature
including post-construction and lessons learned reports. |
