Rare event simulation to optimise maintenance intervals of safety critical redundant subsystems
(2018)
This study reviews the practice of brake tests in freight railways, which is time consuming and not suitable to detect certain failure types. Public incident reports are analysed to derive a reasonable brake test hardware and communication architecture, which aims to provide automatic brake tests at lower cost than current solutions. The proposed solutions relies exclusively on brake pipe and brake cylinder pressure sensors, a brake release position switch as well as radio communication via standard protocols. The approach is embedded in the Wagon 4.0 concept, which is a holistic approach to a smart freight wagon. The reduction of manual processes yields a strong incentive due to high savings in manual
labour and increased productivity.
Towards inclusion of the freight rail system in the industrial internet of things - Wagon 4.0

Wenn durch innovative, automatisierte Güterwagen betriebswirtschaftliche Vorteile nutzbar gemacht werden sollen, muss die Migration auf das neue System in sinnvollen Teilschritten unter Berücksichtigung der organisationellen und betrieblichen Vereinbarkeit vorgenommen werden. Eine stufenweise Migration mit Nachrüstbarkeit und Kompatibilität kann die optimale Ausstattungsvariante für die unterschiedlichen Betriebsszenarien sowie eine Steigerung der Wirtschaftlichkeit des Gesamtsystems bieten.
