From cyclical to predictive maintenance in railway infrastructures

The progressive increase of railway traffic and the consequent reduction of maintenance slots, as well as the request to improve reliability and safety of the network by decreasing costs, is leading to the adoption of plant solutions with increased RAMS parameters, as well as a progressive optimization of maintenance processes. The adoption of upgraded infrastructural components, of smarter maintenance vehicles and innovative measuring cars are vital to achieve the required targets.
