A Study on Developing a Quantitative and Computerized Approach to Resolve Public Conflicts Related to Road Junction Control Method Selection

kwokalex - Posted on 27 October 2016

Project Description: 

To develop a quantitative and computerized approach to resolve public conflicts and propose a final decision. The following two objectives are going to be achieved:

  • Every participant has an opportunity to influence the result
  • Reduce the time and resources needed for group decision making

Research Project Details
Project Duration: 
09/2013-08/2017
Project Significance: 
1. Generate a less biased decision 2. Information handling capacity is better than human 3. Opinion changes and hence the cost of reaching consensus can be reduced as optimization process can be injected into the decision framework 4. Traceable and clear decision reasons 5. Data for analysis for future projects of similarity
Results Achieved:
