Crafting Technological Strategy for Railway Infrastructure Facilities

Maintenance and management of the railway infrastructure plays a central role in ensuring the reliability and availability of rail transport. In a highly competitive transport market, the rail industry is required to employ new and innovative maintenance strategies that will position rail transport as an affordable and reliable transportation alternative. This can be achieved by implementing service strategies that prioritize the efficient allocation of resources. There is a growing demand for the use of risk-based methods to make informed decisions in maintenance and repair management, with the overall objective of reducing operating costs while maintaining safety and efficiency. In the present work the basis for the application of the technology of maintenance of production assets of railway infrastructure based on the assessment of the limit state in resource-limited conditions.
