ACQUISITION OF DATA FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

DIE ERFASSUNG VON DATEN ZUR WARTUNG ELEKTRONISCHER GERAETE

The widespread application of electronic controls in the transit industry necessitates creation of coherent policies for their management. It is essential to know how the equipment really functions, requiring that extensive data be collected and be processed by computers. The object of this paper is to guide the designer of an equipment-monitoring system in determining what data is to be acquired. It is based on experience gained by various Paris Metro departments, dealing with the technical aspects of monitoring operational reliability and serviceability without involving the economics. After describing the problems in defining terms, it discusses the minimum data to be collected and lists precautions to be taken when designing the forms for data acquisition. Every such system must be capable of evolution to satisfy possible new requirements. An appendix is a case study the application of the described processes to a specific group of Paris Metro transit cars with extensive use of electronic controls.
