A new signalling system in Denmark aims at ensuring fast and reliable train operations.
However, it imposes very strict time limits on recovery plans in the event of failure. As a …

Signalling systems ensure the safe operation of the railway network. Their reliability and
maintainability directly affect the capacity and availability of the railway network, in terms of …

In this article, we consider the problem of planning preventive maintenance of railway
signals in Denmark. This case is particularly relevant as the entire railway signalling system …

Switches and crossings (S&Cs) connect the rail network, guiding trains from one track to
another and supporting path crossing. They are critical systems given the frequency of their …

This book explores the domain of reliability engineering in the context of machine tools.
Failures of machine tools not only jeopardize users' ability to meet their due date …

It is reported that switches and crossings (S&C) are one of the subsystems that cause the
most delays on Swedish Railways while accounting for at least 13% of maintenance costs. It …

Standardisation of the European rail traffic signalling system is an ongoing project for faster
travel within the EU, which entails very strict time limits and constraints on recovery …

Higher performance requires the effective operation and maintenance of power generation's
sub-system, often necessitating the implementation of cost-effective preventive maintenance …

Since plant has a long asset life, it requires efficient maintenance planning to perform
effectively throughout its life cycle to meet these operation goals. The application of …

Dependency in systems is one of the problems that reliability faces. Dependence increases
the probability of failure and can affect the performance of a system; Therefore, it is very …
