OPTIRAIL WORKSHOP · OCTOBER 23, 2014 · BRUSSELS OPTIRAIL: “Project Overview” Technical meeting information. 1.What it was thought to exist 2.What it really exists 3.DoW.vs. Current expectations

OPTIRAIL WORKSHOP · OCTOBER 23, 2014 · BRUSSELS OPTIRAIL : Development of a smart framework based on knowledge to support infrastructure maintenance decisions in railways corridors FP7: Theme [SST ] Next Generation tools for optimised infrastructure asset management The compulsory context and headlines of the OPTIRAIL Project are: Cross borders. Freight railway corridors. Experiences from other domains of critical infrastructures. Standards and regulations. New advances on railways maintenance and management based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Some remarks ….

OPTIRAIL WORKSHOP · OCTOBER 23, 2014 · BRUSSELS Some remarks on …. Smart maintenance: new advances in maintenance ….. Smart maintenance: new advances in maintenance ….. 1.Few general ideas …… most of them formulated in academic contexts. 2.Are these ideas new contributions/steps? 3.Are these ideas enough? We want to go more beyond….. We want to go more beyond….. This is linked with available data & expert knowledge.

OPTIRAIL WORKSHOP · OCTOBER 23, 2014 · BRUSSELS Some remarks on …. Available and collected data & expert knowledge Available and collected data & expert knowledge QUALITATIVE Auscultations Geometrical auscultations vs Dynamical auscultations Traffic Approximated values Mixed (Freight and passenger) railway corridors Track High speed vs conventional lines Work orders Different reasons (annual planning, corrective planning) Weather conditions Only Sweden weather conditions Expert knowledge Different cultures-> Difficult to be modeled

OPTIRAIL WORKSHOP · OCTOBER 23, 2014 · BRUSSELS OPTIRAIL also requires Annual maintenance plans How to obtain future maintenance operations from some ERPs. (e.g. a sleeper is always changed every ten years) Generic rules Communication protocols and access data way General description of typical maintenance operations

OPTIRAIL WORKSHOP · OCTOBER 23, 2014 · BRUSSELS Some remarks on …. Cross borders & standardization Cross borders & standardization 1.Cross-border communication is needed: What maintenance operations will affect to my neighbours? What maintenance operations must be communicated? What maintenance operations should be communicated? 2.Automated optimization tool takes into account local and neighbour maintenance operations plan.

OPTIRAIL WORKSHOP · OCTOBER 23, 2014 · BRUSSELS STANDARIZATION ….. Maintenance when required Static Segmentation WP3 OPTIRAIL Framework Architecture OPTIRAIL Index (OI): Time to next critical fault in the railway section Scenario: section of the track characterized by a particular degradation model WP4 Deterioration Models based on Geometrical Auscultations Homogeneous Sections based on curvature FUTURE Using also Dynamic auscultations, ultrasonic data, etc… Using also weather conditions, terrain, track geometry, ….

OPTIRAIL WORKSHOP · OCTOBER 23, 2014 · BRUSSELS Some remarks on …. Experiences in other critical infrastructures Experiences in other critical infrastructures 1.Review of academic works & bibliography devoted to CI applications in the maintenance domain. 2.Real experiences in detail are not realistically available. …. need to be properly documented.
