Abstract

In this study, we develop a web-based Decision-Making Tool (DMT) based on a four-year research project in building the proper multiple criteria Decision-Making Framework (DMF) for infrastructure project selection automation. Several challenges in selecting and prioritizing infrastructure projects include poor front-end planning, lack of project funding, improper investment, unsustainable development, regulatory barriers, and poor coordination among stakeholders. The Non-Structural Fuzzy Decision Support System II (NSFDSS-II) is chosen as the main method applied in the proposed DMF since it could resolve complex multi-criteria problems, even without sufficient information provided. When developing the DMT, Agile software development method is used since the development cycle can be run in a light and fast manner with iterative and incremental processes. The DMT is successfully developed by using PHP, HTML, and JavaScript which implement the proposed NSFDSS-II method. We further tested the decision results from the DMT by using eight real past infrastructure projects from relevant infrastructure agencies in Indonesia, such as the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MPWH), the Ministry of Transportation, and the Local Government. The DMT outcomes were compared with the actual implementation status and evaluated by an independent expert. It was found that the decision results from the developed DMT are in accordance with the real implementation status of evaluated projects. The DMT is recommended to be used for infrastructure project selection automation. However, despite of its fast and accurate result, the DMT should be tested on larger number of infrastructure projects in the future
