7. Data science in railways: what can be achieved
Information can be extracted with the following goals:
Maintenance optimisation
Failure corrections optimisation
Lifetime optimisation
Spare parts reduction
Overhaul optimisation
Obsolescence management
RAMS and LCC optimization
Information
Value
What are the goals, what we want to achieve
In general we want to leverage the information extracted from data to optimise all the processes such as:…

8. IoT in railways: data sources
Rolling stocks self monitoring
Infrastructure monitors rolling stocks
Rolling stocks monitors infrastructure
Infrastructure self monitoring

9. IoT in railways: data sources
Rolling stocks self-monitoring thanks to on-board sensors:
On-board diagnostic
TCMS warning, errors, events
Signalling events
Operations data
Monitoring of the status of wheels, bearings, suspensions …
Rolling stocks self monitoring
Rolling stocks monitor the infrastructure thanks to on-board sensors and geolocation.
Monitoring of the status of the track
Monitoring of the presence of obstacles
Monitoring of the quality of the signals
Geolocation …
Rolling stocks monitors infrastructure

10. IoT in railways: data sources
Infrastructure monitors the rolling stock thanks to trackside sensors:
Hot box detection
Geolocation of the fleet
Identification of rolling stocks
Monitoring of the status of wheels and axles …
Infrastructure monitors rolling stocks
Infrastructure self-monitoring :
Switch sensors
Level crossings monitoring
Obstacle detection …
Infrastructure self monitoring

11. Predictive maintenance (PM)
Opposed to preventive maintenance or corrective maintenance
Requires connected sensors to monitor the condition of the asset
Requires frequency of data
Requires in depth experts to train the system
Requires historical data
Early detection of symptoms
Failure
Failure probability
Preventive maintenance PM
Corrective maintenance
Time

12. Intelligent fault analysis
Historical maintenance data
Diagnostic data from rolling stocks
AI learns systems failure modes and repairs approaches
Input data
Symptoms
Diagnostic data
Work orders
Manuals
Information
Artificial intelligence
Diagnosis
Suggested repair approach
Suggested tests
Training

13. Why PROSE
International environment: our projects usually involve two or more of our European offices and clients from all over the world
Work alongside with experts in many different domains
A variety of data sources and optimisation problems to solve
Project example 1: a rolling stock operator wants to use real time diagnostics to increase the availability of the fleet
Project example 2: a rolling stock maintainer asks us to use the historical data to identify the optimal maintenance operations based on symptoms
And many others…
An ever growing industry which has only recently discovered the potential of data science
