1. Rail Review 14 September 2001 RCM Tools Developed for the RAIL project Project web Page: http://arcos.inf.uc3m.es/~rail Jesus Carretero: jcarrete@arcos.inf.uc3m.es

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

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

4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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...)

7. 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

10. Rail Review 14 September 2001 Infrastructure  Line  Section  Component

11. Rail Review 14 September 2001 Cost model & LCC  Line costs  Section costs  Component cost  ¿LCC data?

12. Rail Review 14 September 2001 Criticality  Line criticality  Section criticality  Component criticality  Component state

13. Rail Review 14 September 2001 Decomposition  System  Subsystem  Mantenible item

14. Rail Review 14 September 2001 FMECA  Function  Failure mode  Failure cause

15. Rail Review 14 September 2001 Failure Criticality  Failure mode criticality  Safety  Availability in the line  Av. In other lines  Cost  Frequency  Time to repair

16. Rail Review 14 September 2001 TASK  Task proposed  Selected task

17. Rail Review 14 September 2001 TASK cost model & LCC  Cost model  LCC

18. Rail Review 14 September 2001 Groups & Meetings  Maintenance Group  Pilot group  Corridor Group  Meetings

19. Rail Review 14 September 2001 RAIL Data Base Management

20. 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?

21. 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

22. 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

23. 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.
