Role of Emerging Technologies

Transcription

1 Role of Emerging Technologies Emerging Technologies for sensing and managing the assets International Railway Symposium Istanbul

2 Role of Emerging Technologies What is the role of emerging technologies? What are emerging technologies? Where to from here?

3 Role of Emerging Technologies Examples of currently emerging technologies include: Nanotechnology Biotechnology Cognitive science Robotics Artificial Intelligence Technologies for railways emerging or converging??

4 Role of Emerging Technologies Characteristics of Railways and the relevenace of sensing technology Asset intensive Wide geographic domain Mobile assets Safety critical High social impact High environmental High economic impact

5 Simple system Asset Management Goal Asset intensive Wide geographic domain Mobile assets Safety critical High social impact High environmental High economic impact Monitoring what where how when and why Action Results More than simply accounting for the assets

6 Complex Systems People Regulators Owners Customers

7 Simple systems? Fix when it fails

8 Asset Management Philosophy Fix when it fails Increasing reliance on sensing / detection Maintain periodically fixed interval Maintain periodically predicted interval Maintain continuously (Example Engine management systems)

9 Common technology opportunities In the context of the railway GPS Laser imaging GPR Materials - Steels, Structural materials Lubrication Energy and fuels Computing Telecommunication wireless / internet Optic fibre applications Data / Information management Decision support systems Human factors - Man Machine interfaces ***** ***** *****
