6 Agenda 1 Maintenance embedded in safety management systems 2 Opportunities of condition based maintenance 3 Optimization circuit 4 Targets and tasks of maintenance research 5 Targets for practical maintenance
7 1 Maintenance embedded in safety management systems integrated safety management basic rule: regulation 2004/49/EC targets and the structure of european railway safty management system common safety targets CST common safety methods CSM common safety indicators CSI technical regulations for manufacturing, operation and maintenance of rolling stock and infrastructure
8 1 Maintenance embedded in safety management systems safety management requirements are valid for all kinds of railway rolling stock and for all players in the life cycle TSI: Manufacturers are responsible for safety in design and construction 445/2011/EC: ECM are responsible for safe condition of railway rolling stock 1158/2010/EC: Operators of railway rolling stock are responsible for safe operating of rolling stock 1169/2010/EC: Operators of infrastructure are responsible for safe operating of infrastructure
9 1 Maintenance embedded in safety management systems new sharing of responsibility for safety of railway rolling stock: manufacturer: responsible for safe design and manufacturing of rolling stock operator: responsible for safe operation of rolling stock entity in charge of maintenance: responsible for safe condition of rolling stock
10 1 Maintenance embedded in safety management systems integrated safety management safety regulation 2004/49/EC manufacturer operator ECM national authorisation by NSA european authorisation TSI under national law under european law CSM audited by contractor CSM for validation by the NSA and RU european certification CSM technical regulations for manufacturing, operation and maintenance of rolling stock and infrastructure (TSI) ECM - Entity in Charge of Maintenance CSM for risk evaluation by the RU RU - Railway Undertaking
11 1 Maintenance embedded in safety management systems That means each entity in charge of maintenance needs a maintenance management system based on the safety regulation 2004/49/EC. A Maintenance Management System (MMS) is a special kind of a Safety Management System focused on safe condition of rolling stock.
12 1 Maintenance embedded in safety management systems A Maintenance Management System (MMS) covers: - management of organisation and responsibility - management of competence - management of ressources - management of risks - management of information, communication and documentation - management of processes, procedures and technologies - management of process optimisation
13 1 Maintenance embedded in safety management systems The main focus of all these parts of the maintenance management system is: written procedures with clear tasks, responsibilites and interfaces reproducible results of the maintenance procedures monitoring of effectiveness of procedures and of acceptable risks
14 1 Maintenance embedded in safety management systems characteristic of a procedure input, sources, interfaces (push or pull) responsible owner, participants, ressources description of procedure (work flow) figures for measuring (target/actual comparison) output, results, interfaces (push or pull)
15 1 Maintenance embedded in safety management systems The responsibility of an ECM for safe condition of rolling stock needs a condition based maintenance. Condition based maintenance needs a connection of management procedures and technical regulations.
16 2 Opportunities of condition based maintenance Basic activities are inspections on fixed intervalls (kilometer or time based) for example CRH 3 maintenance program:
17 2 Opportunities of condition based maintenance Example condition based maintenance: failure information on drivers desk Display information about failure in breaking system Developed version of EMU 423
18 2 Opportunities of condition based maintenance wear progress simplified:
19 2 Opportunities of condition based maintenance failure statistics collecting data regarding maintenance findings and failures configuring data systems to store all data
20 2 Opportunities of condition based maintenance empirical prognostics: thickness of break pads
21 2 Opportunities of condition based maintenance empirical prognostics dissipation of probability distributions on basis of Gaussian, Weibull and exponential distribution based on failure statistics
22 2 Opportunities of condition based maintenance empirical prognostics these results are only valid for one type of EMU under its specific operation conditions, comparison between different types of EMU under different operation conditions is not possible
23 2 Opportunities of condition based maintenance empirical prognostics conclusion: a preview of wear, aging and failures of EMU s under different operational conditions is not possible only on the basis of empirical prognostics, safety, reliability, availability and efficiency can be optimised only in case of knowledge of the detailed reasons and relevant parameters of the wear progress, aging and failure characteristics

40 5 Targets of practical maintenance ECM of railway rolling stock: diagnostics in maintenance based on regulation 445/2011/EC and on technical regulations of maintenance - new ndt technologies: thermography for surface cracks of wheelsets (Fraunhofer Institute Saarbruecken at InnoTrans 2012)
41 5 Targets of practical maintenance ECM of railway rolling stock: diagnostics in maintenance based on regulation 445/2011/EC and on technical regulations of maintenance - new measuring technologies: direct measuring of brake forces between brake pads and discs (patent application by RoeschConsult)
42 5 Targets of practical maintenance All these diagnostic methods have only one target: to minimise the risk of failures in railway transport. They are a strong instrument for all participants in railway traffic to fulfill the european and national safety requirements.
43 5 Targets of practical maintenance But: Which technology shall be used? All what we can or a selected couple of diagnostic technologies in accordance to the risk level?
44 5 Targets of practical maintenance The risk evaluation based on european rules gives the answer. A selection of available diagnostic technologies shall be used, which reduces the risk level to the accepted figure.
45 5 Targets of practical maintenance The effect of these risk minimisation by using diagnostic technologies can be evaluated on the basis of the CSMregulation 352/2009/EC and EN 50126 (RAMS) and EN 60812 (FMEA).
46 5 Targets of practical maintenance CSM-regulation 352/2009/EC:
47 5 Targets of practical maintenance for example: EN 60812 describes three criterias to evaluate risks: probability of occurrence (O) (1... 10) probability of discovery (D) (10... 1) severity of consequences (C). (1... 10)
48 5 Targets of practical maintenance The result is the risk priority number (RPN): RPN = O x D x C (1... 1000) Diagnostic methods mostly increase the probability of discovery of failures (D). The effect of risk minimisation by diagnostic methods can be evaluated with this procedure.
49 5 Targets of practical maintenance Risk management is the most important instrument of the safety management needs in all parts of railway traffic and in all phases of the life cycle of rolling stock and infrastructure. It s an instrument to choose the right and efficient technologies of diagnostics for maintenance. Safety is a condition free of unacceptable risks!
50 5 Targets of practical maintenance Using state of the art in all maintenance technologies is a key condition for safe and efficient maintenance. Connecting modern maintenance technologies with the ECM-management procedures for acceptable risks, higher effectivenes and efficiency is basicly needed to fulfill the requirements of the law and of the customers.
51 5 Targets of practical maintenance Maintenance Management System + Modern Maintenance Technologies = Success in Maintenance of Rolling Stock
