  1. Shaping the Future of RAIL IV • “RAIL” Project • Reliability centred maintenance (RCM) • Approach for Infrastructure and Logistics of railway operation • A project supported by the European Commission under the Framework 5 Programme “Growth” Dr. Norberto Cotaina, a specialist in European projects at ADEPA speaking on behalf of RAIL consortium members

  2. The RAIL Consortium The partners : Railway companies R&D performers IE IARNROD EIREANN (Irish Railways) Baas&Roost (Netherlands R&D) EI ENTERPRISE IRELAND (Irish R&D) NS NEDERLANDSE SPOORWEGEN (Netherlands Railways) ADEPA Agence pour le DEveloppement de la Productique Appliquée (Co-ordinator & R&D ) DB DEUTSCHE BAHN NETZ AG (German Railways) UPM UNIVERSIDAD POLITECNICA DE MADRID (Spanish R&D) RENFE RED NACIONAL DE LOS FERROCARRILES ESPANOLES (Spanish Railways) FIR FORSCHUNGS INSITUT RATIONALISIERUNG (German R&D)

  3. The RAIL Objective • The application of the RCM to total railway infrastructure gives the project a total innovative approach to respect the safety and to structured technique dealing up with maintenance strategies based on awareness of the nature and causes of malfunctions. • The RCM analysis will be developed, implemented and evaluated on : • all various types of track circuitry • axle counters • point machines • the whole signalling equipment • interlocking devices such as: position of points, signals to clear etc. • The set of the above mentioned equipment is called in this proposal Safety Critical Railway Infrastructure components (SCRI components).

  5. RCM andRAIL approach • Reliability centred maintenance (RCM) Approach for Infrastructure and Logistics of railway operation • The RAIL approach is based on the : • The Standard prEN 50126 : Specifications and demonstration of reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) • The RCM international standard: CEI 60 300-3-11 • The MSG3 Airline /Manufacturer, September 1993 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENT • standards regarding LCC : • CEI IEC 360-3-3 • NORSOK

  6. The RCM international standard: CEI 60 300-3-11 Tasks Outputs Information collection Technical data feedback Identification of systems Master system index Identification of system functions List of system functions Selection of systems Listing of ranked systems Identification of a system functional failures and its criticality ranking Listing of system functional failures and ranking Identification and analysis of functional significant items (FSIs) Listing of FSIs Selection of maintenance tasks List of maintenance tasks Initial maintenance programme Initial maintenance procedures On-going programme Operational experience Tasks in the development of RCM based preventive maintenance programme

  7. The RAIL approach • Sequential approach : • Net Beakdown Lines-Corridors Sections Components (SCRIC) (Safety Critical Railway Infrastructure Component) … Subassemblies Maintenance Items (like in standard FSI :Functional Significant Items) Criticality analysis Criticality analysis Criticality & State analysis

  8. RAIL approach using a Cost Model • the Life Cycle costs analysis and the related model were developed

  9. RAIL Sequential approach Analysis of the section in a Line - Corridor of the Net Form 1 Information about the sections and criticality grid New comparison with RCM Standard Approach to limit and classify the elements of the Net Sections List & classification Component Information & Criticality grid Form 2 Section Component Analysis State grid SCRIC List & classification SCRIC functional decomposition Template of SCRIC and Maintenance Item information Form 3 Very Similar to RCM Standard Breakdown decomposition of SCRIC RAIL criticality grid to evaluate the failures effects FMECA SCRIC analysis FMECA Form 4 SCRIC failure modes & causes evaluated and classified Logical decision tree to maintenance task Determination of maintenance task Form 5 Maintenance task List and cost analysis New compare with RCM Standard Maintenance LCC evaluated by task Maintenance Programme Maintenance LCC evaluated by Working zone Grouping and analysis of Maintenance Tasks Form6 Maintenance Task List modified Feed Back Experience

  11. Form Examples

  12. RAIL Planned activities for the next periods • Continue the RCM analysis of the main machines in the four railways (about 30 Safety Critical Railway Infrastructure components) • Develop a data-base : • create the RAIL Database. • develop a target to made RCM analysis. • Discuss reliability problems with railway safety authorities.

  13. RAIL final result RCM Internet tool: Architecture Expected end of project summer 2002

  14. Remarks and conclusions At this state of the project concerning the RCM methodology we adapt the forms and the criteria to evaluate the criticalities of the failure causes. At this state we modify the RCM standards to introduce the specificities of Infrastructure and Logistics of railway operation. The LCC aspects introduced must be tested to appreciate the feasibility and usefulness for the railways companies. At this state we have not enough experience to validate the RCM approach proposed and the LCC models to be implemented in the data base. This work will be done in the next months.
