This is the phase where “mobile diagnostic” is required.

CENELEC EN The context (2/2)  The collection of statistical data regarding functional and RAMS performances before and during the revenue service of the trackside is useful to optimize the maintenance process.  Diagnostic data are evaluated and used for planning the consequent maintenance actions.

Maintenance (could be) quite automatic. Maintenance depending on the Local verification of each balise. Maintenance cannot be automatic. Maintenance depending on the diagnostic subsystem of the supplier at transmission level; at the receiving level it depends on the local verification, for each positioning on the track. Maintenance cannot be completly automatic.

GSM-R/GPRS Diagnostic System: application interfaces

 Correct positioning on the track  Correct distance between balises within the same Balise Group (BG)  Correct distance between BGs  Functional coherence and consistency of the received telegram to the expected one for that balise  Balise Status Silent balise ‘Default Balise’ message, in order to detect a LEU failure or a break on the connection cable ‘Default LEU’ message, in order to verify the correct functioning of the LEU  Number of received telegrams (air-gap index) Balise Diagnostic: logical parameters measurement

 Radio Contact Diagram Contact length Axial symmetry Compliance with the expected patterns  Central frequency value  FSK frequency deviation of modulation Balise Diagnostic: physical parameters measurement

Italian experience  Pre-operational phase carried out during 2010  Full operation started in January 2011  Operation Program main outcomes: 6 complete measuring campaigns (six months timeframe) on the Italian Railway Track, about Km km of lines inspected eurobalises checked The following information have been kindly provided from Rete Ferroviaria Italiana The service performed by the technological CARONTE allows continuous monitoring of the railway lines and, through the detection of faults, provides indications for corrective maintenance of the equipment of wayside and then for Certification in exercise of the lines. The objective in the medium term is the study of evolution of the physical parameters of the balise before they reach the fault condition in order to contribute maintaining the efficiency of the equipment of wayside system mainly in terms of predictive maintenance.
