ML/AI for early detection of infrastructure and rolling stock issues

Telemetry and sensors provide real-time data about the condition of assets.

Spare parts and logistics ensure that replacements are available when needed.

CV/ML for cracks, wear, imbalances; risk prioritization.

Survival analysis, RUL (Remaining Useful Life), thresholds, uncertainty, and alerts are used to identify potential problems.

Work windows, resources, interference, and downtime minimization strategies are implemented.

UK Standards, audit-tracks, transparent solutions, safety.

Data requirements include sensor readings, inspections, and repair history.

The accuracy of predictions is validated through rigorous testing and consideration of uncertainty.

Frequently asked questions

What is RUL? Remaining Useful Life with confidence intervals?

RUL? Remaining Useful Life with confidence intervals. This allows for a probabilistic assessment of how long an asset will continue to function effectively.

What are CV data? Video/images from inspection platforms?

CV data? Video and images captured from inspection platforms provide visual evidence of potential issues, enabling more accurate analysis.

What about spare parts? Forecasting needs and operational stock levels?

Spare parts? Forecasting demand and maintaining optimal stock levels ensures that replacement components are available when required, minimizing disruptions.

What about teams? Coordinating maintenance crews and schedules?

Teams? Coordinating maintenance crews and scheduling repairs efficiently allows for proactive intervention and reduces the impact of failures.
