Internet technology for rail operations and maintenance
By:
(ContentDesk)
August 3, 2005 -- EUROMAIN aimed to define a complete maintenance
support system for rail operators, one that would support real-time
monitoring and diagnosis of systems and equipment aboard trains and in
fixed plants. However the project team also intended to establish
standards that could underpin the formation of new types of maintenance
organisation in Europe. “Our main objective was to define a common
infrastructure which would help support rail operations and maintenance
into the future,” says Paolo Umiliacchi of CNC (Centro Nuova
Comunicazione) in Italy. “Although our work covered both rolling stock
and the rail infrastructure, our main focus was on the rolling stock.”
The core of the project was the development of new data exchange
standards for diagnostic systems and telemetry data monitoring. The
objective was to provide rail operations and maintenance organisations
with real-time diagnostic capabilities for their train systems,
enabling them to monitor the status of each device at all times and
thus be able to optimise the use of precious maintenance resources. The
IST-funded EUROMAIN project finished on 31 March 2005, and by project
close the team had successfully demonstrated their hardware and
software prototypes on trains from three different manufacturers in
three countries. In France the platform was demonstrated on an SNCF
train produced by Alstom, in Austria the operator was OEBB
(Oesterreichische Bundesbahnen) with a train from Siemens, and in Italy
the Trenitalia train was manufactured by Bombardier. All of these rail
operators and manufacturers were partners in the project. Umiliacchi
emphasises that what is novel about the platform is the use of XML
technology in the database systems, and the development of standard
interfaces between all the different systems involved. “The technology
comes from the Internet – what we have done is adapt it to the rail
