PHM in Rail Transport

Currently, the technology of Rail Transport is advancing rapidly. The Rail Transportation System has been more and more significant in the economic development and high technology industry. Recently, China has become a critical power within the research, manufacturing and operation of the Rail Transportation system all over the world. The safety and reliability, which is crucial to the Rail Transportation system, is the most desired features and research interests. Meanwhile, Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) has revolutionized the perception of product reliability and has resulted in a broad range of applications. PHM within Rail Transport has been one of the top researches in the field.
However, due to the high speed, high density, complex operation condition, significant accident impaction of the Rail Transportation System, as well as the nonlinearity, nonstationary and nongaussian of the signals, PHM in Rail Transport is being faced with challenges. Therefore, a special session, called PHM in Rail Transport has been proposed by State Key Laboratory of Rail Traffic Control & Safety at Beijing Jiaotong University during PHM-2016 Chengdu. This Session will cover the research and application on PHM technology within the Rail Transport, and match-up world-class expertise in the field to facilitate synergistic exchanges of ideas and practices. Researchers and participants from academia, industry, and government organizations are invited to submit papers on this topic.
