This study aims to analyze the concept and application of AI-based predictive maintenance in the railroad industry and draw implications from it. Focusing on the adoption of AI-based maintenance systems by the Korea Railroad Corporation and Seoul Metro, we examined how AI technology can improve the efficiency and safety of railroad operations. We also compared and analyzed the application of AI technology in the European railroad industry through the cases of Deutsche Bahn in Germany and SNCF in France. The study found that AI-powered predictive maintenance contributes to reducing the frequency of breakdowns, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing the reliability of railroad operations.

This study proposes a track maintenance quantity estimation model that considers evolution of rail fatigue damage and ballast settlement based on actual maintenance data from the Gyeongbu high-speed railway, and revises the existing life cycle cost (LCC) model for railway track. Using this model, maintenance quantities and life cycle costs based on different track quality levels are evaluated and discussed. According to the results, it is confirmed that applying the track maintenance quantity estimation model that accounts for rail fatigue damage and ballast settlement allows us to reasonably estimate maintenance costs close to the actual data. The track quality coefficient significantly influences both rail and ballast maintenance quantities, with ballast maintenance having a greater impact than rail maintenance. Additionally, as train speed increases, both rail and ballast maintenance quantities rise. Moreover, a higher track quality coefficient leads to a steeper increase in maintenance quantities with increasing train speed. Consequently, LCC also exhibits a faster growth rate over time with higher track quality coefficients and faster train speeds, resulting from an increased proportion of maintenance costs.

Life cycle costing is one of the most effective approaches for the cost analysis of long-life products such as the railroad vehicle. Life cycle costing includes the cost of concept design, development, manufacture, operation, maintenance and disposal. Especially, life cycle costing in the railroad industry has been focused on the maintenance cost. In this paper, the standard, guide and maintenance information of railroad vehicle were investigated, and the unique corrective and preventive maintenance templates of railroad vehicle were proposed. Maintenance cost of an auxiliary power supply system of EMU was predicted by using the proposed templates. The results show that the preventive maintenance, PM, cost is much higher compare to corrective maintenance, CM, cost because of daily and monthly maintenance tasks which require lots of labor work. It is expected that these templates can help railroad operators make maintenance strategies with consideration of the cost parameter.

An important problem in reliability analysis for repairable systems is to model the maintenance effect. The most of researches have assumed two extreme cases; one is perfect maintenance and the other is minimal maintenance. However, many of maintenances performed by domestic subway operators are imperfect maintenances which have the effect between both of two extreme cases. This article deals with the problem determining the imperfect preventive maintenance intervals based on failure data in units of the PDS(passenger door system) in Metro EMU. This paper deals with a case study on determining imperfect maintenance interval by using the level of maintenance effect through reliability analysis of PDS.

There is a existing study dealing with the case that the effect of preventive maintenances to restore the door system is imperfect. When the effect of the preventive maintenance is imperfect, we need to consider the maintenance effect for making reliable and economical maintenance policies. The maintenance policies applicable for imperfect maintenance cases are considered and their effectiveness are evaluated through simulation in cases of passenger door system:PDS.

Recently, railway corporations have built maintenance information systems and collected failure and maintenance data. For example Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation (SMRT) built the Electric Motor Unit-Information System (EMU-IS) which is the first maintenance information system in Korea. It has been operated from August, 2000. This paper deals with a case study on determining maintenance interval through reliability analysis using EMU-IS fault data. Door system is considered for the case study in which reliability is evaluated for operating time and distance and the overhaul interval is determined.

It is known that the operation and maintenance cost is generally higher than the acquisition cost of rolling stocks. It is very important for reducing the operation and maintenance cost to acquire the rolling stocks which are well designed with regard to the operation and maintenance cost. Therefore life cycle cost including the operation and maintenance cost is needed to be considered from the acquisition phase. This article presents a procedure and a model for life cycle cost which are applicable to the acquisition of rolling stocks.
