Identification of appropriate risk analysis techniques for railway turnout systems (2016)
Journal Article
Dindar, S., Kaewunruen, S., & An, M. (2018). Identification of appropriate risk analysis techniques for railway turnout systems. Journal of Risk Research, 21(8), 974-995. https://doi.org/10.1080/13669877.2016.1264452

The construction of railway turnout entails a complex geometry and multidisciplinary engineering science, which makes it one of the most critical railway infrastructures. As such, these characteristics pose various risks in rail operation. A consider... Read More about Identification of appropriate risk analysis techniques for railway turnout systems.

Natural hazard risks on railway turnout systems (2016)
Journal Article
Dindar, S., Kaewunruen, S., An, M., & Osman, M. (2016). Natural hazard risks on railway turnout systems. Procedia Engineering, 161, 1254-1259. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proeng.2016.08.561

As an essential feature to enable rail operational flexibility, railway turnouts are special track systems used to divert a train from a particular direction or a particular track onto other directions or other tracks. Railway turnout is constructed... Read More about Natural hazard risks on railway turnout systems.

Disruption : a new component in the track inspection schedule (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Osman, M., Kaewunruen, S., An, M., & Dindar, S. (2016, August). Disruption : a new component in the track inspection schedule. Presented at 2016 IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Rail Transportation (ICIRT), Birmingham, UK

Disruptions can occur during the execution of any schedule or plan. Both minor and major disruptions must be handled properly, because they have the potential to cause deviation from the original schedule's main goals. In rail track inspection schedu...

Disruption management of resource schedule in transportation sector : understanding the concept and strategy (2016)
Journal Article
Osman, M., Kaewunruen, S., An, M., & Dindar, S. (2016). Disruption management of resource schedule in transportation sector : understanding the concept and strategy. Procedia Engineering, 161(2016), 1295-1299. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proeng.2016.08.592

Disruption in a schedule (or plan) can be managed but not all factors are visible. A study of disruption management is performed specifically to minimize the differences between the expected and actual context of execution. The purpose of this paper...

Design for safety : safety consideration in planning and design of airport airsides (2016)
Journal Article
Al-Saadi, M., & An, M. (2016). Design for safety : safety consideration in planning and design of airport airsides. International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 10(4), 448-460. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1112129

During airport planning and design stages, the major issues of capacity and safety in construction and operation of an airport need to be taken into consideration. The airside of an airport is a major and critical infrastructure that usually consists... Read More about Design for safety : safety consideration in planning and design of airport airsides.

Aggregation of group fuzzy risk information in the railway risk decision making process (2015)
Journal Article
An, M., Qin, Y., Jia, L., & Chen, Y. (2016). Aggregation of group fuzzy risk information in the railway risk decision making process. Safety Science, 82, 18-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssci.2015.08.011

Railway risk assessment is a hierarchical process where risk information obtained at lower levels may be used for risk assessment at higher levels. Fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) is widely used in risk decision making process to solve impr...
