Abstract
One of the traditional methods on managing risk is taken using engineering decisions taken during the project development. In this paper, we propose a new method for risk assessment of a tunnel project where there are three main parameters called taskmaster, adviser, and contractor. The proposed model of this paper is built based on interactive framework of a game theory where, in making decision, each player considers other possible risks choices. We implement three-person cooperative game theory combined with an interactive decision structural model of fuzzy analytical hierarchy process to perform a balance between actions and suitable cooperative strategy for each player. The results reveal that collaboration strategies give the highest outcome for the three players. It also recommends owner managers, design managers, and contractor managers to make collaboration in undertaking innovation while the operator managers need to let an independent organization clearly identify the appropriate risk mitigation measures to be implemented in a timely manner.
