چکیده

Turnouts are probably the most important infrastructure elements of the railway system because of its effect on the system safety, reliability and quality of the service. In this paper, a predictive maintenance system in point mechanism, called RCM, has been implemented for increasing the quality service. RCM is based on the integration of the two other types of maintenance techniques, namely Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM1) and Remote Condition Monitoring (RCM2). The core of the system consists of an Unobserved Components model set-up in a State Space framework, in which the unknown elements of the system are estimated by Maximum Likelihood. The detection of faults in the system is based on the correlation estimate between a curve free from faults (that is, continuously updated as new curves are incorporated in the data base) with the current curve data. If the correlation falls far from one, a fault is at hand. The detection system is tested on a set of 476 experiments carried out by the Universities of Sheffield and Castilla-La Mancha. q 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Fixed Effects Estimation of Marginal Railway Infrastructure Costs in Sweden

New railway legislation in Sweden has increased the need for transparent access charges on the Swedish railway network. We estimate cost functions for infrastructure operation, maintenance and renewal in the Swedish national railway network, using unobserved effects models and calculate marginal costs for railway infrastructure wear and tear. We find evidence of unobserved fixed effects at a tr...

Failure and Degradation Prediction by Artificial Neural Networks: Applications to Railway Systems

Passenger and freight railway demand has grown significantly during the last decades. Railway operators have increased service frequencies and extended network connectivity to serve this demand, but these adjustments have increased system complexity and decreased buffering capacities. As a result, railway systems are now operating closer to their stability boundaries. Consequently, single failu...

Development of a Finite Element Methodology for Flexible Track Models in Railway Dynamics Applications

The dynamic analysis of railway vehicles involves the construction of three independent models: the vehicle model; the track model; and the wheel-rail contact model. In this work, a multibody formulation with Cartesian coordinates is used to describe the kinematic structure of the rigid bodies and joints that constitute the vehicle model. A methodology is also proposed in order to create detail...
