Improvement of risk management in the project scheduling of road construction projects – Case study.

In this paper the risks that affect highway construction projects duration are studied by qualitative and quantitative approaches. For the qualitative analysis the consistency of expert opinions was evaluated, and two methods were applied to identify critical risks that affect local projects. The quantitative analysis studied the impact of those risks over the activities of a local project and also the relationship between risks using fuzzy logic and Monte Carlo simulation.
