Abstract:

Smart maintenance is essential to achieving a safe and reliable railway, but traditional maintenance deployment is costly and heavily human-involved. Ineffective job execution or failure in preventive maintenance can lead to railway service disruption and unsafe operations. The deployment of robotic and autonomous systems was proposed to conduct these maintenance tasks with higher accuracy and reliability. In order for these systems to be capable of detecting rail flaws along millions of mileages they must register their location with higher accuracy. A prerequisite of an autonomous vehicle is

Abstract:

Railway track fault recognition is a critical aspect of railway maintenance, aiming to identify and rectify defects such as cracks, misalignments, and wear on tracks to ensure safe and efficient train operations. Classical methods for fault detection, including manual inspections and simple sensor-based systems, face significant challenges, such as high labour costs, human error, and limited detection accuracy under varying environmental conditions. These methods are often time-consuming and unable to provide real-time monitoring, leading to potential safety risks and operational inefficiencie

Abstract:

Purpose. The safety of the transportation process in railway transport and its continuous operation to a large extent depend on the reliability of the means of railway automation and communication. In this case, special role in ensuring the efficient and safe operation of railways belongs to the systems of interval control of the train movement, as well as automatic locomotive signaling in conjunction with the systems of monitoring the driver's vigilance and automatic train stop. Therefore, the main purpose of the article is a detailed analysis of the operation reliability of these systems, in

Abstract. InSAR technology is currently a crucial tool for large-scale surface deformation monitoring, particularly excelling in regional subsidence monitoring. In this study, focusing on the Jinan section of the Shandong railway, newly launched LUTAN-1 satellite SAR data was employed. DInSAR and Stacking techniques were applied to analyze the subsidence in response to the long-term operation load of high-speed trains and surrounding human activities. Through the analysis of data from June 2023 to December 2023, regional subsidence was identified in this section, with a subsidence rate reachin

Abstract:

Violations of the integrity of rails on railway sections pose a serious threat to traffic safety, cause accidents and wrecks, lead to significant economic damage and human casualties. The integrity of rails is controlled by flaw detection methods, as well as by a special mode of operation of rail circuits due to the signal current flow around track circuits. The widespread use of AC rail circuits which reliably perform the control mode made it possible to organize a simple method of integrity control over a significant length of railway lines. The complexity of maintenance and low reliability

Abstract:

Railway infrastructure safety is a paramount concern, with bolt integrity being a critical component. In the realm of railway maintenance, the detection of missing bolts is a vital task that ensures the stability and safety of tracks. Traditionally, this task has been approached through manual inspections or conventional automated methods, which are often time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error. Addressing these challenges, this paper presents a state-of-the-art solution with the development of a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) featuring an integrated attention mechanis

Abstract:

Regular inspection of railway track health is crucial for maintaining safe and reliable train operations. Factors, such as cracks, ballast issues, rail discontinuity, loose nuts and bolts, burnt wheels, superelevation, and misalignment developed on the rails due to non-maintenance, pre-emptive investigations and delayed detection, pose a grave danger and threats to the safe operation of rail transport. The traditional procedure of manually inspecting the rail track using a railway cart is both inefficient and prone to human error and biases. In a country like Pakistan where train accidents hav

Abstract:

To effectively compete with other renewable energy sources, there remains a critical need to further decrease the Levelized Cost of Energy of Wind Farms (WFs). A promising way to achieve this objective is by minimizing the downtime of wind turbines (WTs) through effective Inspection and Maintenance (I&M) activities. Conventionally, I&M plans have predominantly relied on CM/SCADA data obtained from the physical components of turbines, with data analytics and machine learning (ML) techniques being employed to predict their performance and maintenance needs.
