Development of Track Facility Monitoring Device to Achieve CBM and Future Prospects
East Japan Railway Company (JR East), as a railway operator, has tackled challenge of technological innovation in various fields such as safety technologies, energy and environmental technologies, information and communication technology (ICT), and high-speed rail technologies. The Research and Development Center of JR East Group has proposed the “Smart Maintenance Initiative” as 21st-century innovation in railway maintenance. The Smart Maintenance Initiative is composed of four key parts: “Achieving Condition Based Maintenance (CBM),” “Introduction of Asset Management,” “Maintenance Work Support by AI,” and “Integration of Database.” The Technical Center, which is part of the R&D center, has been developed to realize the Smart Maintenance Initiative. Currently, the Technical Center is focusing on CBM partly because the Technical Center can obtain various types of operational data regarding railway facilities such as track, bridges, etc. For example, a track facility monitoring device developed by the Technical Center is one method of CBM. With this device, the Technical Center can obtain high-frequency data on track irregularity and understand track conditions in greater detail. This paper describes the overview of the track facility monitoring device and analysis methods for observing track deterioration with high-frequency monitoring data.
