Minimization of Risks in Highway Projects Using Buffer
This paper aims at identifying the highway construction delays factors and rectifies those using buffers to time and money. A buffer sizing methodology based on fuzzy risk assessment is used to minimize risk factors causing delays to the road construction activities. The input of the questionnaire is subjected to frequency and severity indexing which are then used as input for the buffer size model. A total of 25 Fuzzy if–then rules are then applied using the fuzzy model. Data reliability is checked using SPSS in which the value of Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient comes out to be 0.814. The finding identifies the top 10 delay factors in highway construction, with ‘preparation of natural surface’ requiring the maximum buffer size of 40.64% and ‘approval from authorities’ showing a small buffer size requirement of 10.89%. The project manager can identify the activities requiring immediate gearing up among simultaneous activities.
