Holistic Asset Management and Decision Support System: Development of the Intelligent Asset Management System for Predictive and Efficient Maintenance within the work package 8 of the European Rail Joint Undertaking FP3-IAM4RAIL Project

Railway asset management is a complex discipline involving diverse systems, multiple stakeholders and various types of assets. Traditional maintenance planning often overlooks key factors such as weather conditions, asset interdependencies and historical records, which can lead to inefficient resource use and suboptimal outcomes, either excessive maintenance or an increased risk of failures.

To address these challenges, within the European Rail Joint Undertaking (ERJU) Flagship Project (FP) 3 IAM4RAIL Intelligent and Integrated Asset Management project, SNCF and Hitachi are exploring new ways to develop Decision Support Systems to support dynamic railway maintenance. Contributing to overall Work Package 8 (WP8) Long term asset management and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) with task 8.1 “Holistic Asset Management and Decision Support System (DSS): Development of the Intelligent Asset Management System (IAMS) for Predictive and Efficient Maintenance”.
