  1. AUTONOM - Integrated through-life support for high-value systems Andrew Starr

  2. Welcome Contents • Introduction to TES Institute and Cranfield rail group • Introduction to AUTONOM - Integrated through-life support for high-value systems • Challenges ahead

  3. Through-life Engineering Services Institute Integrated Vehicle Health Management Centre EPSRC National Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Through-life Engineering Services TESI core staff

  4. Cranfield Rail Group • Technical • Safety and behaviour • Business

  5. Rail group- Technical • Heat dissipation from brake discs • Diagnostics, prognostics and maintenance planning for electro-mechanical systems • Air quality monitoring using optical fibre sensors • Complex Systems for optimizing rail networks • Diagnosis, condition monitoring and prognosis for machines; motors, gears, generators; • Rail monitoring with optical fibre grating sensors

  6. Tramway deployment of FBG sensors Instrumented fishplate

  7. Rail GroupSafety and behaviour • Passenger Safety Research: perceptions of risk and safety on the railway network • Passenger safety in rail crashes • Passenger information requirements in safety related situations on the railway network • Driving Research Group: working with the private and public sector on driver behaviour. • Human factors in rail and road safety.

  8. Rail Group - Business • Transaction costs within rail firms; franchised train operating firms in Britain; benchmarking of train operating firms; deregulation and globalisation; • Competition between air transport and high-speed rail in Japan • Environmental impacts

  9. AUTONOM - Integrated through-life support for high-value systems • Part of the Autonomous and Intelligent Systems Programme • Integrating: • Data fusion and mobile platforms • Planning and scheduling • Cost analysis

  11. AUTONOM - Integrated through-life support for high-value systems - structure Integration Data fusion and mobile platforms Planning and Scheduling Cost Analysis Think-tank Identify business processes Foundations Best practice cost modelling Definitions Fusion strategy Design Design strategy Optimisation framework Monitoring design strategy Models Frameworks for integration and benefits Applications Fusion case studies Partner benefits Validation Reporting architecture Validation Validation

  12. No Fault Found • Switch machines • Track circuits • Doors

  13. Data rich problems • Location: • Fixed beacon (balise) • Moving sensors • Ultrasonic • Laser • Terabytes per day

  14. Data poor problems • Old structures • Difficult, infrequent inspections • Very old records

  15. Challenges • Requirements for interchange of maintenance data between fixed and mobile actors • Automation of monitoring on mobile platforms, and interface with other actors • New cost modelling tools for complex distributed health monitoring, and value to the business.
