Abstract

In the process of developing and improving traffic infrastructural network, it is necessary for managers to identify and control influences on the implementation of traffic construction projects (hereunder referred to as “projects” for short) so as to work out suitable measures to get it fulfilled on schedule. Thus, this study is to investigate factors affecting the project schedule with the support of investors, advisors and contractors of 150 traffic projects in HCMC and neighboring localities. Such the projects have been commenced since 2004 till now. The findings have pointed out the fact that there are four main factors affecting the project schedule, that is, legal and policy factors, socioeconomic factors, internal technical factors, and internal non-technical factors of projects; and multi-variable regression tests have proven that the model can explain 56% of the total variables. On the ground of findings, some suggestions for projects to be kept to schedule shall be raised accordingly
