Strategic Maintenance Optimization for Enhanced Operational Efficiency of Railway Station Infrastructure

Effective maintenance is a hard but very important task allowing keeping assets in operation. In particular this is something very relevant for critical infrastructure that are railways and railway stations. European wide analyses show, that there is no harmonization in data standards nor there are good solutions allowing to assist station operators in maintenance management. In this paper we focus on handling available data streams, integrating them with a data lake based centralisation and using it to provide a decision support system. Such system, based on dashboards created with Business Intelligence software, can provide significant help in managing of assets. As an example we provide appropriate routing mechanisms allowing to use the available maintenance personnel with more efficiency.
