The project will complete, integrate and expand the definition of the maintenance system, including:

  • standardisation of formats and models for data exchange and analysis, remote monitoring and diagnostics;
  • definition of standard rules to produce, classify, store and exchange technical documents;
  • interfaces and specifications for maintenance and configuration management, troubleshooting, statistics;
  • common guidelines and basic structure for optimisation of maintenance methodologies.

The results will bring a higher level of interoperability and standardisation in railway maintenance, enhancing the vehicle-infrastructure integration.
A prototype implementation, based on existing infrastructure, will allow to test and demonstrate the EuRoMain concepts, disseminating the results, showing the system benefits and favouring a wide consensus on the upcoming standardisation proposal.
The project will pave the way for new standards in maintenance systems, and the interchange of maintenance information across European boundaries, in accordance with present and future needs, so as to achieve a higher level of effectiveness and optimisation, as already shown in other transport modes (e.g. aviation).
The major expected results from the project activities are:

  • Contributions to technical specifications for interoperability and European standards
  • Architecture and standard platform of the European Diagnostic Data Network, including data formats and diagnostic database
  • Standard specification of the European Technical Documentation Network, including document DTDs and codification rules
  • Infrastructure for Logistic Applications Standardisation and Interoperability, including configuration database and interfaces to third parties applications
