Flexible pavements are prone to premature deterioration, and researchers unresolved regarding the importance of underlying causes resulting in inappropriately selected modeling parameters increased uncertainty predicting subsequent behavior performance. A windshield survey, literature fuzzy Delphi study were undertaken as complementary approaches costly conventional investigations identify reas...

This paper focuses on the multiperspective requirements that influence mobile collaborative maintenance adoption and implementation in engineering asset management organizations. Mobile technologies have developed rapidly and they are viewed as business enablers, and have the potential to support asset maintenance practice. Nowadays, several specialized systems have been invested in by engineer...

As part of a wider study of the relevance of the principles and practices of the Slow Movement to the information disciplines and professions, a Delphi study was carried out with 17 researchers in information behaviour and practices. A novel variant of the Delphi technique, termed the Slow Delphi, was devised for this study. This is aimed at eliciting qualitative understanding of complex concep...

A carbon-based industry, such as oil refinery, needs to change its business model to achieve a green business. Considering the existing too much data, the modeling procedure is complex. Therefore, combination of the Fuzzy Delphi method and System Dynamics can be considered to cover this complexity. The starting point in this work is literature review of prior studies on the same common topic an...

Circular economy (CE) implementation requires the transition from linear business models (BMs) to circular ones, with related uncertainties and multi-disciplinary risks, which often discourage organisations. However, there is still a lack of understanding risks associated this process. This work thus aims identify, classify prioritise key risk factors for innovative BMs in order enable developm...

Distance and online education have required instructors to acquire new skills competencies for language teaching. This research aimed determine Turkish instructor competencies. It comprised two stages in which Fuzzy Delphi Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods were used. In the first stage, 52 under seven categories compiled from literature by applying technique. second AHP method was used...

With steady contemporary social economy rapid progress science technology, demand marketing professionals even greater market, which means that higher vocational colleges (HVC) should find establish more suitable models education methods market combination with curre...

To promote the development of electric vehicles (EVs), many charging stations have been built. The construction of charging stations costs a lot, hence it’s necessary to evaluate their energy efficiency due to their main aims of energy conservation. In this paper, a fuzzy model based on the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is presented to evaluate the en...
