Assessing the Performance of Public-Private Partnership Highway Projects: From Anecdotes to Comprehensive Evidence
… was employed in a case study of four P3 projects to evaluate how well these cases met stakeholder expectations and ultimately performed. The research to develop the framework and conduct the case study was organized in three integrated studies. The first study employed a systematic …

Revenue Risk Management for P3 Highway Projects: Implementation of Revenue Guarantees in the U.S. Market
… shortage problems associated with large-scale projects. Appropriately allocating and managing risks among project participants is critically important for a P3 project's success. This thesis focuses on one of the tools to manage revenue risk, the revenue guarantee, where a guarantor compensates …

A structural model for mitigation measures of critical cost overrun factors in highway projects in sindh province
… along with many challenges, especially in highway projects. The most critical issues in highway projects are the cost overrun and lack of their mitigation measures. Hence, the objective of this research is to determine the critical factors of cost overrun, its significant mitigation …

Explaining cost overruns in highway projects : a geo-spatial regression modelling and cognitive mapping of latent pathogens and contextual drivers
… the unusually high cost overruns experienced in highway projects, executed in the tropical wetland setting of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. An expansive range of research from academe, revealed a strong dialectical debate between the theoretical and technical schools of thought, as to what …

Private sector's roles in application of private finance initiative to highway development in Japan
The highway development program in Japan is currently at an important transition point. Necessary policy reforms, triggered by the public's increasing and intensifying criticisms, are under discussion. These criticisms are generally concerned with the financial difficulties in the program. Along …

Aesthetic-based conflict in highway planning: Federal Highway Administration putting planners at risk
The Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration aesthetic-based legislation, policies, regulations, guidelines, and procedures as well as their implementation are not only inadequate and inappropriate for avoiding conflict, but they actually contribute to conflict. The exploration …

Integrating Geospatial Technologies into the Property Management Process of the Transportation Right-Of-Way
… for managing the property acquired for highway projects. These activities are data and document intensive and efficiency for performing them would be improved through the implementation of an information management system. Because of the geospatial nature of many of these activities, …

Development of LiDAR assisted terrestrial radar interferometry for rock deformation monitoring
… TLS systems ideal for rock slope evaluation for highway projects, especially when time, cost, and public opinion are major concerns for the state's Department of Transportation"--Abstract, page iv.</p>

Decision support model for the combined transportation and utility construction strategy
As an increasing number of highway projects are undertaken in highly congested metropolitan settings, many of such projects require that adjacent utilities be adjusted to accommodate new or expanded highway facilities. The adjustment of utilities prior to highway construction is a particularly …

Developing a sustainability rating framework and indicator decision sub-logic for highway design and construction sector in Nigeria.
Highway infrastructure development projects improve living standards across communities and cities, and increase the economic growth and societal expectations of a country. Due to anthropogenic activities, the use of sustainability strategies is encouraged for highway infrastructure development. …

Extending the range of linear scheduling in highway construction
… method which is best suited for scheduling projects involving repetitive activities. Highway construction projects are excellent examples of projects displaying repetitive characteristics. The research explores usefulness of linear scheduling in highway construction. The Linear Scheduling …

Optimizing highway reconstruction and rehabilitation projects
… transportation networks including its roads, highways and bridges are aging and deteriorating at an increasing and rapid rate. The vulnerability of these aging networks of roads and bridges is exacerbated when they are subjected to natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes which …

Development of Fuzzy Hybrid Approaches to Project Delivery Method Selection in Highway Construction
… methods is a success factor in delivering highway construction projects because it has a substantial impact on the project performance, such as cost, time, and quality. Project delivery decision-making processes have been heavily relied on experts’ opinions and subjective judgements of …

A new approach to estimate congestion impacts for highway evaluation: effects on fuel consumption and vehicle emissions
The evaluation of highway projects where traffic congestion is a significant problem requires careful analysis to accurately identify the true costs, and therefore potential benefits, of operational changes. Models have previously been derived that employ either simplistic speed-flow approaches or …

The role of public private partnership in highwayinfrastructure development and sustainability in Nigeria
The Nigeria's highway infrastructure are currently being procured and maintained usingthe traditional Design, Bid Build (DBB) method. The procurement method and fundingmechanism appeared not to have produced the desired result of timely and cost effectiveproject outcome nor good quality and …

Modelling uncertainty of cost and time in infrastructure projects
The construction of infrastructure projects is characterised by cost overruns and time delays. Scholars view that the estimation approach and inappropriate tools and techniques used to forecast possible uncertainty in the construction processes are a primary cause of cost overruns and time delays …

Evaluating Performance of Hybrid Geosynthetic-Reinforced Retaining Walls
… (GRR) walls have been extensively used in highway projects. A novel GRR wall was proposed to mitigate the problems (e.g. high connection stress) resulting from the relatively large spacing of primary reinforcement. This new GRR wall has secondary reinforcement installed between primary …
