    Assessment actions for improving railway sector performance using intuitionistic fuzzy-rough multi-criteria decision-making model
    (Elsevier, 2023) Bayane Bouraima, Mouhamed; Saha, Abhijit; Stević, Zeljko; Antucheviciene, Jurgita; Qiu, Yanjun; Marton, Peter
    The selection and prioritization of appropriate actions to improve the performance of the railway sector pose a common challenge for policymakers and transport planners. This challenge is further complicated by factors such as political power shifts, policy changes, and socio-economic and environmental impacts, introducing various uncertainties. To address this issue, a novel multi-criteria decision-making framework was developed in this study. The framework introduces the weighted geometric Dombi Maclaurin Symmetric Mean operator within an intuitionistic fuzzy environment, enabling the identification of the most appropriate action from nine different alternatives to enhance the performance of railway sector. Moreover, the study makes an additional contribution by combining this approach with an interval rough PIvot Pairwise RElative Criteria Importance Assessment to determine the weight coefficients of the criteria. To assess the robustness of the proposed methodology, sensitivity analysis and a comparative study were conducted. The findings of the study indicate that “enhancing the governance of the transport sector” emerged as the most appropriate action to improve the performance of the railway sector.

    Assessment of Causes of Delays in the Road Construction Projects in the Benin Republic Using Fuzzy PIPRECIA Method
    (Hindawi, 2022) Stević, Željko; Bayane Bouraima, Mouhamed; Subotić, Marko; Qiu, Yanjun; Antwi Buah, Peter; Maraka Ndiema, Kevin; Magloire Ndjegwes, Christian
    Purpose. The purpose of this study is to examine the causes of delays in road construction projects in the Benin Republic from the consultant, client, and contractor perspectives. Design/Methodology/Approach. Through construction project reports, 20 factors that could cause delays in road construction projects were identified. The factors were arranged into a questionnaire, which was distributed to three separate experts. The fuzzy PIPRECIA (PIvot Pairwise RElative Criteria Relevance Assessment) method was used to calculate the independent importance of each delay factor. The Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients were used to test the method’s consistency. Findings. The top five road construction project delays in the Benin Republic, according to the analysis of the 20 factors considered, are project funding, slowness during the client-endorsed payment process, scarcity of professional personnel, delay in indemnifying reimbursement (land-owners), and price escalation. This shows that of the various types of delays, the financial delay group is the most crucial. Originality/value. This study evaluates the causes of delays in road construction projects in the Benin Republic for the first time in literature. This study also examined the top 5 delay factors in road construction projects. This study is based on reports from road construction projects and a performed questionnaire survey. Based on the findings, measures have been formulated to aid project managers to alleviate the road construction delays in the Benin Republic. In addition, this study is practical for both scholars and road construction parties and provides a complete and verifiable analysis of the progress of a road construction project to make it easier and attain a competitive level of time, cost, and quality for successful road construction.

    Integrated intelligent decision support model for ranking regional transport infrastructure programmes based on performance assessment
    (Elsevier, 2023) Bayane Bouraima, Mouhamed; Qiu, Yanjun; Stevć, Zeljko; Marinković, Dragan; Deveci, Muhammet
    In recent years, major regional transport infrastructure programmes have been adopted throughout the African continent. However, it has been noticed that while some programmes seem to be more effective, others have shown opposite outcomes. On this point, understanding the difference in the execution outcomes of these programmes is important for stakeholders. In this study, an improved fuzzy Step-Wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis based on the fuzzy Bonferroni aggregator is integrated with fuzzy Measurement of Alternatives and Ranking according to COmpromise Solution to assess the most critical factors affecting the performance of the African regional infrastructure programmes and identify the best regional transportation infrastructure programme based on its performance. Four regional transportation infrastructure programmes are considered. To rank these programmes, five criteria are defined. The results show that “leadership” and “availability of finance” are the most critical factors while the fourth alternative “East African road network project” is the best alternative among the four possible programmes. The robustness of the proposed methodology is validated through a three-phase sensitivity analysis. The results confirmed the stability and applicability of the proposed methodology.

    Models of Analysis of Credible Deviation from Speed Limits on Two-Lane Roads of Bosnia and Herzegovina
    (Wiley, 2022) Subotić, Marko; Stepanović, Nemanja; Tubić, Vladan; Softić, Edis; Bayane Bouraima, Mouhamed
    Any deviation of speed in a traffic flow from a speed limit represents a potential risk of traffic accidents, so speed management appears as an imperative. However, an inadequately set speed limit often causes drivers’ noncompliance to it in the conditions of real traffic flow. By determining the value of exceeding the speed limit according to vehicle classes, it is possible to recommend a credible speeding value that can be considered credible up to a value above the speed limit. In this paper, deterministic multistep mathematical models of speed deviation from the speed limit as a function of longitudinal gradient for the proposed vehicle classes were developed. A total of 11 measuring sections with different traffic flow types were analyzed. Based on a detailed analysis of speeding, models for the deviation of the 15th, 50th, and 85th percentiles were obtained, with the aim of adjusting the credible deviation to control measures. -e results obtained in this study were compared with a survey of traffic flow speeding on two-lane roads conducted in Serbia.
