Construction Site Layout Evaluation by Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS Model

Abstract

Effective construction site layout planning (CSLP) shall improve construction operations efficiently and enhance work environment safety. The majority researches works on CSLP focused on developing different algorithms and program to generate site layout alternatives using quantitative and qualitative factors involved in the interaction flows. However, some qualitative factors, such as security and noise control are not taken into consideration. This study proposed intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method to evaluate and select the best site layout from site layout alternatives in terms of the project-specific attributes, which are neglected and hard to quantify in generating site layout alternatives. The results show that the proposed method improves the quality of decision making in evaluation and selection of the best construction site layout.
