“…Thus, better visualization of the projects contributes to increasing the quality of the results of highway planning, considering that in highway projects, the decision-making processes are crucial and characterized by a multidisciplinary nature [148]. In addition to this, there is a growing interest in the study and adoption of delivery methods for highway projects, such as public-private partnerships, design-build, build-operate-transfer, and integrated project delivery (IPD) [149,150].…”

An efficient highway infrastructure network is a determining factor in promoting the socio-economic development of countries and regions. Highway planning activities are highly important because their results ensure that projects are delivered within budget, schedule, and scope. Therefore, academics and professionals have promoted various methodological and technological advances focused on improving highway planning processes, evidenced by many scientific documents that address the topic. Despite progress, few studies have focused on analyzing the state of the knowledge structure and the technological and methodological trends of the highway planning topic. Considering this gap, this study presents trends in highway planning and its knowledge structure based on a bibliometric analysis from January 2015 to September 2021. The research method is based on a bibliometric analysis composed of five main stages: (1) scope definition, (2) selection of bibliometric analysis techniques, (3) data collection, (4) bibliometric analysis execution, and (5) evidence analysis and synthesis. Information from 1703 journal papers was collected and analyzed. The findings show that the main trends of highway planning focus on life cycle analysis, computational tools, smart cities, sustainability issues, construction processes, new equipment and materials, and multi-objective optimization, among others. Thus, the findings of this study allow the reader to identify the methodological and technological trends in highway planning and their knowledge gaps to guide future studies in the field.

“…Time efficiency is one of the fundamentals of procurement performance and therefore extensive research was undertaken to facilitate the understanding of how to improve it in line with the influencing factors above (e.g. Stritch et al, 2020;Zhao et al, 2022a;Wang et al, 2020). Reeves et al (2017) and Carter et al (2019) respectively paid attention to the influence of some characteristics of PPP projects on the tendering period in Ireland, the United Kingdom and Canada.…”

“…With the large-scale promotion of PPP since 2014, several central government departments, including the State Council, the MoF and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), have issued a large number of policies to regulate PPP in a short period. However, the different policymakers bring about difficulties such as different policy positions, strong conflicts of interest and difficulties in coordination, which in turn give rise to policy uncertainty and make it difficult for PPP practice to form stable expectations (Zhao et al, 2022a;Wang et al, 2020). The policy uncertainty not only confuses policy implementers in the practical application (Ke et al, 2018), but also inhibits firms' investment behavior (Qin et al, 2022).…”

PurposePre-construction of a project comprises stages that are pivotal for the procurement performance. It is defined as the duration from the project's initiation to construction. However, Private Public Partnerships (PPPs) have been subjected to a long pre-construction, thereby leading to an inefficient development process. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to pay attention to the influencing factors elongating the pre-construction duration.Design/methodology/approachBased on data of 5,677 PPP projects between 2009 and 2021 in China, the authors adopt the Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) model in duration analysis to empirically analyze the following underlying dynamics determining the duration of PPP pre-construction stages: (1) policy uncertainty; (2) corruption; and (3) procurement method selection. To observe the influencing paths more specifically, the authors divided the pre-construction duration into the pre-tendering period and tendering period and regressed them separately.FindingsThe results indicate that the pre-construction duration is significantly prolonged with increased policy uncertainty and corruption degree as well as the use of tendering methods. Meanwhile, the above factors have a greater impact on the pre-tendering period than the tendering period.Originality/valueThe contribution of this study is twofold: (1) theoretically, this paper provides new evidence on the impact of PPP policy uncertainty, corruption and procurement method selection on the pre-construction duration. It complements empirical studies on the factors elongating the time efficiency of PPPs projects. (2) In practice, it provides a specific path for the government to improve the time efficiency of PPPs.

“…Over decades, the traditional mechanisms have been the model in construction projects procurements where formal contracts impose obligations among the contracting parties (Cheung et al, 2006;Zhao et al, 2022). Traditional procurement routes can effectively succeed in cost and quality performance (Steane & Walker, 2000).…”

The dynamic, challenging, and complex nature of the construction projects environment often cause adversarial culture, disputed claims, and deteriorating relationships between project participants. This paper aims to study the correlation between Relationship Management (RM) and construction project success and to develop a framework that includes practical actions, tools, and strategies for managing relationships in construction projects. Literature review and interviews were used to explore and validate the RM’s relevant associated traits. Subsequently, a piloted questionnaire was used to collect the data from 264 construction experts and assess the effect of RM on the overall project success. The data were analyzed using Partial-Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), where the structural and measurement models of the higher and lower order constructed were assessed. The study findings categorized the RM-associated traits into three main pillars: Contractual Measures, Team Interactions, and Top Management Actions. The findings also confirmed that RM has a significant positive effect on the overall success of construction projects. In addition, this paper proposed an integrated framework for managing relationships in construction projects, allowing construction firms to monitor the relationships in their projects and identify key areas for strengthening the relationships throughout their projects to foster their projects’ success rates.
