Risk management was applied to many organizations. There was a risk of multiple and complex manner in the construction industry, because it has a variety of elements. The application of risk management was therefore used in solving problems that suffer from the past to create an alternative to proper functioning under conditions. This article studied the main application to risk management in the construction industry by the sample texts document. The applying of risk management in the construction industry was 3 stages of risk management which were the risk analysis, risk assessment, risk control and follow-up, which was used to store information in the past and brainstorm by virtue of experience, expert tips and techniques to determine the risk analysis and risk evaluation of a mathematical methodology combined with the master planning of construction work to analyze, evaluate the risk under different condition and situations. Control, risk monitoring and risk assessment were a small amount so it should be a topic of research in future rely on notes and update the plan. The three important things for the applying of risk management in the construction industry were personnel, information and continuous learning.

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) implemented dynamic management of portable variable speed limit (PVSL) technology to reduce regulatory speed limits through an active work space (AWS). UDOT also developed and tested an intelligent system approach to alter speed limits in construction work zones. The goal of the PVSL system was to provide a portable and dynamic system that was easy for construction personnel to use to prudently reduce speeds within an AWS and make construction work zones safer for workers and the traveling public, while limiting the need to reduce speed throughout the AWS, rather than the entire construction work zone. This was achieved through temporary regulatory reductions in driver speeds within the immediate boundary of an AWS when workers were on site and exposed to the danger of errant vehicles during active construction. The system also raises speed limits when workers were not present. This PVSL system used a dynamic variable speed limit (VSL) algorithm to raise and lower the regulatory speed limits. The PVSL system also provided a queue warning algorithm that operated independent of the VSL algorithm to control messages posted on the portable variable message sign (PVMS) trailers to disseminate dynamic information to drivers. UDOT has completed 2 years of PVSL system deployment testing in four separate construction work zones to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. This paper highlights key elements that guided development of the PVSL system, along with the successful results from deployment of the system.
