Centralized Maintenance Time Prediction Algorithm for Freight Train Wheels Based on Remaining Useful Life Prediction
Many freight trains for special lines have in common the characteristics of a fixed group. Centralized Condition-Based Maintenance (CCBM) of key components, on the same freight train, can reduce maintenance costs and enhance transportation efficiency. To this end, an optimization algorithm based on...

Many freight trains for special lines have in common the characteristics of a fixed group. Centralized Condition-Based Maintenance (CCBM) of key components, on the same freight train, can reduce maintenance costs and enhance transportation efficiency. To this end, an optimization algorithm based on the nonlinear Wiener process is proposed, for the prediction of the train wheels Remaining Useful Life (RUL) and the centralized maintenance timing. First, Hodrick–Prescott (HP) filtering algorithm is employed to process the raw monitoring data of wheel tread wear, extracting its trend components. Then, a nonlinear Wiener process model is constructed. Model parameters are calculated with a maximum likelihood estimation and the general deterioration parameters of wheel tread wear are obtained. Then, the updating algorithm for the drift coefficient is deduced using Bayesian formula. The online updating of the model is realized, based on individual wheel monitoring data, while a probability density function of individual wheel RUL is obtained. A prediction method of RUL for centralized maintenance is proposed, based on two set thresholds: “maintenance limit” and “the ratio of limit-arriving.” Meanwhile, a CCBM timing prediction algorithm is proposed, based on the expectation distribution of individual wheel RUL. Finally, the model is validated using a 500-day online monitoring data on a fixed group, consisting of 54 freight train cars. The validation result shows that the model can predict the wheels RUL of the train for CCBM. The proposed method can be used to predict the maintenance timing when there is a large number of components under the same working conditions and following the same path of degradation. |
