PurposeIndia is a rapidly urbanizing developing country with a population of 1.4 Billion. Indian governments have invested USD 50 Billion) in metro rail projects in 18 cities. Metro constructions are multi-stakeholder mega-projects and are prone to a variety of risks. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the risks involved in metro rail construction projects in a densely populated developing country for two types of systems and from two perspectives. Current literature lacks an understanding of similarities and differences in the risks involved in underground and elevated metro projects from clients' and contractors' perspectives, which the paper highlights.Design/methodology/approachA total of twenty-five risks were identified, categorized and assessed through experts' opinions about the impact and probability of occurrence of the risks through a questionnaire-based survey. The survey respondents included experts in metro rail construction from client and contractor sides. Paper uses a Fuzzy Inference System to calibrate risk magnitude from occurrence probability and impact.FindingsA notable difference was observed in the views of clients and contractors, except for certain common risks. Both stakeholders had different risk perceptions for the underground and elevated metro rail systems.Practical implicationsThis study contributes to the risk assessment for different types of metro systems. This research can help policymakers as well as consultants in prioritizing their risk management strategies in developing countries like India.Originality/valueHighlighting the critical aspects of risks in metro projects in a developing country, this paper also provides system-based and stakeholder-based comparative aspects of risk analysis.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a systematic approach to develop and manage competence of employee in the field of Traffic Management System (TMS) of Malaysian railway industry. The outcome of this research shall conclude a framework for competence management and define a benchmark for practice in this industry. Previous studies in competence management in the field of TMS mainly limited to non-Malaysian railway and from different type of railway network. The framework for this research study uses component of competence as core element mediate by suitable element to develop and enhance competence. This descriptive quantitative research study uses suitable competency model to explore the competence of the TMS employee. Following this, a suitable technique and method for learning and training method propose for Malaysian railway TMS operation employee. This whole process is summarized into a competence management framework.

This paper presents the propose development of railway signaling and communication curricula at MyRA. The program commenced on 2016 under Industrial Collaboration Program (ICP) with Technology Depository Agency coordination. Thales Portugal provides the laboratory equipment and teaching module. There are three institutions and one railway operator company participate in the program. The program was conducted due to enhanced strong knowledge on railway signaling and communication among the Malaysian academicians. The universities will be able to develop bachelor and diploma railway programs and able to develop laboratories along with hi-tech railway equipment. The ICP railway signaling and communication, consist of four stages, started with basic Train The Trainer (TTT), advanced training, training installation equipment and training simulator. The trainees have gained a lot of experienced and expose to different kind of railway signaling system during the training. At the end of the program, a module of railway signaling and communication course with a lab railway signaling field equipment and CTC simulator were developed.
