Research on Safety Decision-Making Behavior in Megaprojects

Abstract

This research takes the construction companies and supervision units of megaprojects as the research objects and studies safety issues in construction decision-making for megaprojects. Using evolutionary game theory, we construct an evolutionary game model of safety decision-making behavior for construction companies and supervision units based on the bounded rationality assumption. The interaction and dynamic patterns of safety behaviors between the two construction entities are analyzed. Additionally, system dynamics Vensim PLE 10.2.1 software is employed to simulate and analyze the behavior of single entities as well as the impact of exogenous variables on the safety decision-making choices of both units. The research results indicate that positive choices in safety behavior decision-making contribute to enhancing the stability of megaproject construction. Exogenous variables significantly influence the safety behavior decisions of both the construction companies and the supervision units in megaprojects. An increase in cooperation benefits between the two parties fosters their active collaboration in completing mega engineering projects. This research promotes cooperation between construction companies and supervision units during a construction process and provides a reference for the safe and orderly implementation and development of megaprojects.
