Dynamic Bayesian Networks Modelling Maintenance Strategies: Prevention of Broken Rails
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, an assistant tool for the maintenance of rails in a metro context for normal steel wheeled trains is proposed. The theory of Dynamic Bayesian Networks offers an interesting frame to solve this specific problem. We present a modular modelling of the current rails’ diagnostic process. It simulates the rail degradation, the behavior of the various actors involved in the defect detection, but also the maintenance action decisions. This model provides indicators, such as the non detection rate or the number of false alarms, helpful for the determination of optimal maintenance parameters.

Safety Effectiveness of Integrated Accident Prevention Strategies
There are potential interactions among approaches to reduce or prevent certain accident causes. Given the overlapped safety benefits of various measures for accident prevention, it is necessary to identify their interactions and quantify the safety effectiveness of combined accident prevention strategies. This study focuses on strategies to prevent broken rails and broken wheels, respectively. ...
متن کاملModel for Predicting the Frequency of Broken Rails
Broken rails can cause train delays, trains cancelations and, unfortunately, they are common causes of accidents. This aff ects planning of a resources, budget and organization of railway track maintenance. Planning of railway track maintenance cannot be done without an estimation of number of rails that will be replaced due to the broken rail incidents. There are many factors that infl uence b...
متن کاملImperfect maintenance modelling by dynamic object oriented Bayesian networks
The maintenance of complex systems is a discipline that requires great knowledge and great experience. These factors are, unfortunately, not enough: the opportunity to model the system to be maintained and to represent it in the form of a mathematical and probabilistic model, can’t be disregarded at all. These composite systems, moreover, are often subject to problems of uncertainty and must op...
متن کاملModelling and Decision-making on Deteriorating Production Systems using Stochastic Dynamic Programming Approach
This study aimed at presenting a method for formulating optimal production, repair and replacement policies. The system was based on the production rate of defective parts and machine repairs and then was set up to optimize maintenance activities and related costs. The machine is either repaired or replaced. The machine is changed completely in the replacement process, but the productio...
متن کاملKnowledge Elicitation for Predictive Maintenance Modelling with Bayesian Networks
Predictive maintenance is closely connected to condition monitoring, health and usage monitoring systems (HUMS), prognostic modeling and condition-based maintenance (CBM). It is concerned with identifying what maintenance actions should be chosen and when, based on the predicted state of the item of interest over time. It can be viewed as a logical development of CBM. The authors of this paper ...
