As a result there is a need to increase rolling stock capacity and availability. Procuring new rolling stock isn’t always the best Tom Hopkins, Head of Engineering, course of action when responding to increased demand because of Heathrow Express (UK) tightening budgets. Therefore it is critical design and maintenance of Richard Keefe, General Manager, rolling stock are geared towards increasing availability and capacity of Rolling Stock Fleet, MTR (Hong Kong) existing fleets. Malcolm Taylor, Head of Technical Information, Crossrail (UK) Rolling Stock Management 2015 investigates maintenance, engineering and design strategies to improve availability, reliability Co-located with Rail Infrastructure Asset and capacity of fleet while balancing cost. This year the agenda Management 2015 to provide event features case studies from owner/operators, consulting engineers, more networking opportunities maintenance contractors and academics who have addressed these concerns using different strategies such as condition monitoring, life cycle management, modeling and fatigue testing, compliance with standards and many more.

This workshop will demonstrate how online Continuous condition monitoring of vehicle trackinteraction condition monitoring and remote condition monitoring can support maintenance planning, diagnosis of track defects techniques can be successfully integrated into existing andscheduling of maintenance. The challenge lies in capturing management systems for tangible results such fewer failures, analysing this data and effectively using it to make more faster turnaround lower mean time between failure more informed decisions about maintenance (proactive, predictive service availability and greater customer satisfaction. It will and preventative) that will increase service availability. It will address the question of whether or not condition monitoring is also enable better fleet management to limit wear and tear and cost effective and worth the investment. extend the lifespan of fleet and track infrastructure.
