Abstract
Effective maintenance is a key for infrastructures’ high operational reliability. The integration of corrective repairs and schedule-based failure preventions has been a mainstream of modern maintenance, and an associated policy-making technique, delay-time modelling, is overviewed in this paper for optimising the maintenance cost-efficiency in different practical scenarios, including imperfect, opportunistic and nested maintenance. A few typical examples of its applications in minimising maintenance operating expenses are discussed in this paper and their results are explained to better demonstrate the benefits of the technique. This work aims to prepare for the future applications of the delay-time modelling in railway maintenance policy making.
