Using expert opinion for risk assessment: a case study of a construction project utilizing a risk mapping tool

Using operational data for decision making a feasibility study in rail maintenance Marsh, William; Nur, Khalid; Yet, Barbaros; Majumdar, Arnab (2016-05-01) In many organisations, large databases are created as part of the business operation: the promise of ‘big data’ is to extract information from these databases to make smarter decisions. We explore the feasibility of this approach for better decision-making for maintenance, specifically for rail infrastructure. We argue that the data should be used within a Bayesian framework with the aim of inferring the underlying state of the system so we can predict future failures and improve decision-making. Within thi...
