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 The RCM international standard CEI 60
  300-3-11
• The MSG3 Airline /Manufacturer, September 1993

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 of RCM analysis.
• Discuss reliability problems with railway safety
  authorities.

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.
