1 Maintenance - the key driver of railway infrastructure costs Stasha Jovanovic, Ph.D. Faculty of Technical Sciences, Novi Sad, Serbia Euro Rail Consult, Belgrade, Serbia 1

6 M&R Costs Estimation Model ORE/ERRI D141 & D161.1 Research Projects Deterioration Law, which is characteristic for every element and every type of a track structure, depends on the traffic characteristics, among which especially: Dynamic axle loads, speed, accumulated traffic load, and uncompensated lateral acceleration, curve radii, vehicle types, etc. e( T ) e 0 k T P V Where: T Accumulated Traffic Load P Representative Dynamic Axle Load (P = SQ) V - Speed
7 M&R Costs Estimation Model ORE/ERRI D141 & D161.1 Research Projects This model is especially useful/adequate for economical calculations of RELATIVE changes in costs, where the value of new Costs (C 2 ) can be expressed in relation to the old Costs (C 1 ) via the following formula [1]: C C 2 1 P 2 P 1 1 V V 2 1 e e max 1 max 2 e e Where: P 2 & V 2, etc., represent new values, and P 1 & V 1 old values.
8 M&R Costs Estimation Model ORE/ERRI D141 & D161.1 Research Projects Assuming ALL other conditions to be THE SAME, i.e. P 2 = P 1 and V 2 = V 1, we get: C C 2 1 P 2 P V V 2 1 e e max 1 max 2 e e C 1 emax1 e C emax 2 e02

Increase of track geometry deviations i.e. decrease in track quality [%]

Typical improvement rate achieved by Tamping machines is about 30%.

15 Expected Cost Savings Due to impact load reduction at welds: % of annual maintenance budget; ProRail budget in The Netherlands: ~ 250 mio for 4,500 single track; Savings: mio total, or 5 10,000 per km of single track every year.

17 Tonnage borne on AUS Heavy-Haul Rlwys As of 2010, the Rio Tinto Pilbara Iron network served 11 mines in the Pilbara region, transporting 220 million tonnes of iron ore to the ports at Dampier and Cape Lambert annually. Rio Tinto iron ore train consist of up to 236 wagons, each 106 tonnes; Trains are up to 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) long and weigh apprx 29,500 tonnes. Roy Hill 55 million tones of iron ore per annum. BHP Billiton Mount Newman railway in 2001 broke the world record for the heaviest train as well as the longest train when a train weighing 99,734 tons and formed of 682 wagons ran for 275 kilometres between Yandi and Port Hedland. The train was 7.3 kilometres long, carried 82,000 tons of iron ore and was hauled by eight GE AC6000CW locomotives. Annual operation up to 205 million tonnes. FMG (Fortescue Metal Group) railway currently undergoing an A$50m upgrade to facilitate an expanded railway network, with the capability of handling 155 million tonnes of iron ore per annum. In Jan 2012 a record 210,000 tonnes is railed in one day ( 70 MGT/y) Up to 2 billion tons (2,000 MGT)
18 Solution -> Increased focus on Maintenance A. Shift towards condition-based maintenance and renewal (M&R)management (Railway Asset Management Systems R-AMS) B. Mandatory inclusion of maintenance considerations into the regular design documentation (Maintenance Design)
19 What is Condition-based approach? Over the next two decades, medicine will change from its current reactive mode, in which doctors wait for people to get sick, to a mode that is far more preventive and rational. A vision of the future of maintenance What s driving this change are powerful new measurement technologies and the so-called systems approach to medicine. 19 The average doctor s office visit might involve blood work and a few measurements, such as blood pressure and temperature; in the near future physicians will collect billions of bytes of information about each individual genes, blood proteins, cells and historical data.
20 Condition-based M&R Management FROM: Diagnostic data used mostly for the controlling purposes TO: Diagnostic data used as the driver for maintenance activities Planned preventive maintenance Corrective maintenance Survey activities Today Tomorrow M&R Costs
21 Condition-based M&R Management (R-AMS) Reduction / minimization of Accidents (e.g. derailments) Taking Control of Dynamic forces => extension of asset service lives Shifting from Corrective to Preventive Maintenance, i.e. acting BEFORE defects have occurred Reducing defects/damages Minimizing Traffic Disturbances & Speed Reductions Allowing time for Planning and Resource Allocation Optimization Enabling What-if analysis, i.e. the ability to test different Maintenance Management Policies & Strategies

Railway infrastructure condition-monitoring Programme a) Types of measuring systems to be used Automatic/production measuring systems (measuring vehicles) Hand-held (portable) measuring systems Track wayside measuring equipment b) Determination o the optimal frequency of measurement 2. Determination of the optimal: a) Condition-analysis concept (selection of a Railway Asset Management System) b) Track and rail geometry quality to be maintained, with respect to the dynamic forces and consequential deterioration of track and rail geometry, as well as of all track components c) Track Tamping regime d) Rail and Weld Grinding regime e) Wheel/Rail Interface characteristics f) Railway infrastructure Renewal regime, with respect to the established maintenance regime (optimal balance between maintenance & renewal) g) Switches & Crossings Maintenance & Renewal regime h) Thresholds for all key railway infrastructure condition parameters (track geometry, rail wear, rail corrugation, rail internal and surface defects, overhead line wire geometry and wear, civil structures, etc.) i) Routine maintenance regime
