Rail Vehicle Maintenance

© M. Kache

Maintenance measures compensate for stochastic damage processes.
Through maintenance-oriented design, effective organizational structuring, and favorable technological execution of the processes, minimal specific maintenance costs can be achieved.
The requirements for high availability necessitate, particularly in the case of high-speed rail vehicles, dedicated handling and workshop facilities.

Main Topics

• Maintenance as a closed-loop control system

• Damage behavior of components and assemblies

• Maintenance-oriented design

• Efficient organizational structures

• Structural and mechanical facilities

• Technological process planning

• Maintenance processes for high-speed rail vehicles
