Abstract [en]

Timely planning and scheduling of railway infrastructure maintenance interventions are crucial for increased safety, improved availability, and reduced cost. We propose a data-driven decision-support framework integrating track condition predictions with tactical maintenance planning and operational scheduling. The framework acknowledges prediction uncertainties by using a Wiener process-based prediction model at the tactical level. We also develop planning and scheduling algorithms at the operational level. One algorithm focuses on cost-optimisation, and one algorithm considers the multi-component characteristics of the railway track by grouping track segments near each other for one maintenance activity. The proposed framework's performance is evaluated using track geometry measurement data from a 34 km railway section in northern Sweden, focusing on the tamping maintenance action. We analyse maintenance costs and demonstrate potential efficiency increases by applying the decision-support framework.
