Process analytics in railway applications
- Nikolaus Haselgruber (CIS consulting in industrial statistics GmbH)
Currently established maintenance regimes aim at pre-emptive activities to avoid failures during operation. Nevertheless, in many cases a significant amount of unforeseen service effort has to be spent on reactive measures entailing significant perturbation of the production and the service process. System supervision and analytics offer the potential to facilitate preventive maintenance....
The maintenance process of railway tracks was for a long time purely event-driven, i.e., reactive. In the last decade, considerable research and development effort has been made in order to turn this into a pro-active work, i.e., analyse data from railway net as well as traffic, model a position-specific stress in terms of wear and predict the time for a required maintenance action.
One of...
Abstract
In recent years, rail transportation in Europe is regarded as a viable alternative to other means of transport, and this naturally leads to a fierce competitions among operators in terms of passenger satisfaction. In this regard, railway passenger thermal comfort is one of the most challenging and relevant aspects, especially for long trips. Indeed, new European standards, such...
