Rail Review 14 September 2001 RCM Tools Developed for the RAIL project Project web Page: Jesus Carretero:

Rail Review 14 September 2001 Main tasks  Developing the database  Developing the RCM CMS

Rail Review 14 September 2001 Specifications and structure of the database developed

Rail Review 14 September 2001 WP5: D WP5: D atabase requirements I System Architecture is :  Modular: local database per company, but same structure  Interactive: to promote cooperation and information exchange inside the company (and inter-companies)  Scalable: local databases should be able to include new information.  Open: to include heterogeneous information and legacy systems  Extensible: to guarantee future usability by including new elements and operations. Methodology is :  Based on standards: JAVA, CORBA, SQL, …  WEB oriented to promote remote access and cooperation  Distributed to allow co-operation, integration and scalability  Client-Server paradigm to provide and retrieve information

Rail Review 14 September 2001 WP5: D WP5: D atabase requirements II RAIL database to :  Extend existing experience from companies, manufacturers, railway associations, … Similar databases in OREDA, NRPDS, CCPS, US Navy  Mainly used to store anonymous statistical information related with SCRI LCC, failures, maintenance operations, LCC info and to get feedback from other sources.  Should be open to external sources of information, and should pervive the RAIL project.  Integrate existing data bases with legacy information. Other Company databases to :  Store day-to-day maint. data and operations, local LCCs, local monitoring, …  Databases should be compatible to exchange information: providing functions to load and unload data.

Rail Review 14 September 2001 WP5: D WP5: D atabase Functionality  Store lines and their sections and evaluate their states.  Store the components and their SCRIC values of a section and line.  SCRIC analysis of the functional failures, detection of the functional failure and evaluate for each functional failure the frequency and severity, and the criticality criteria.  Decision making help and maintenance tasks planning.  Reports on different aspects of the system (lines, SCRIC, functions, etc.) and statistics of the RCM analysis.  To provide a decomposition of the SCRICs and information of their parts.  Store and view the information about the meetings during the RCM process.  Facilities to load and unload data from/to existing databases and plain files (format to be defined...)

Rail Review 14 September 2001 WP5: WP5: Database Integration System Integration :  All Data base interfaces in Java: easy communication and interfacing  Co-operation using Java through RCM Internet Tool  Friendly user interface: all data acquisition using RCM predefined forms through an Internet based tool.  To define cooperation methods among different data bases

Rail Review 14 September 2001 RAIL Data Base Management

Rail Review 14 September 2001 Data acquisition  Active maintenance is done based on maintenance people reports.  Preventive maintenance needs: retrieval of qualitative information, information on reliability parameters and information regarding maintenace resources, LCC info. Historical information related to failures.  Predefined forms for maintenance reports (based on expert’s knowledge)  Condition information acquired via network (Inet, ATM, GSM-R, …) using RCM predefined forms through an Internet based tool.  Future:  Condition monitoring.  All process should be mechanized: maintenance inspectors with portable laptops?

Rail Review 14 September 2001 Data format (load) RAIL DB Company Database Plain Text File Loader  Plain text format: ASCII File with separators  Database exchange format: e.g.: Oracle LOAD

Rail Review 14 September 2001 Data format (unload) RAIL DB Unloader Plain Text File Reports  Plain text format: ASCII File with separators  Reports  Maintenance plans

Rail Review 14 September 2001 Results Database reports:  Retrieval of qualitative information.  SCRIC information.  Information on reliability parameters and information regarding maintenace resources.  LCC info.  Historical information related to failures. Maintence plans: flexibility to generate plans with different criteria  Criticality, Urgency, Efficiency …. Data exploitation: the prototype supports future applications.

Rail Review 14 September 2001 RAIL Internet RCM Toolbox

Rail Review 14 September 2001 Main Functionalities of the DB ToolBox Main Functionalities of the DB ToolBox  Editing lines, sections and components.  Introducing criticallity and failures in a friendly-user mode.  Helping to develop the RCM analysis: templates.  LCC method integrated with the tool and the DB.  Elaboration of reports of proposed task.  Posibility of doing several statistic analysis.  Administration :  Data base and project creation.  Data feeding using automated methods.
