Assessment of uncertainties and risks related to implementation of infrastructure projects

Abstract

Abstract The paper considers principles of assessing uncertainties and risks related to realization of infrastructure projects. The procedure for the examination of the proposed infrastructure project should use the methodological toolkit of risk theory, which was developed to assess safety of complex technical systems. A risk-based approach to the assessment of infrastructure projects involves a scenario assessment of the project, taking into account the influence of potential hazardous natural, technological, economic and socio-political factors that can significantly complicate the project implementation. A set of indexes allowing one to assess and compare different variants of the infrastructure project implementation is presented.
