Assessment of Risks Associated with Elevated Metro Rail Projects by using Fuzzy Failure Mode a nd Effect Analysis

Abstract

Objective: To identify the risk factors in metro projects through literature reviews and interviews and to assess identified risks using Fuzzy FMEA. Method: An under construction elevated metro viaduct is documented, and Fuzzy FMEA is used to assess risks identified through the study. Findings: The application of Fuzzy FMEA in elevated metro construction was demonstrated and conclusions were drawn from the findings of the study. It was identified that risks under physical and economic category are high and construction risk fall between low and medium post mitigation. Novelty: This study highlights the critical aspects of risks in elevated metro projects in India; also, it provides mitigation strategies to each of the independent variable to keep the risk and time under control.
