Rail transit has been globally adopted, and rightly so, as it possesses enormous benefits such as large capacity, high efficiency, and low pollution. As the industry develops rapidly, on one hand, the constant upgrading and the increasing complexity of vehicle systems, coupled with more diversified and technically sophisticated equipment, bring new challenges to operation and maintenance. On the other hand, the expansion of the network and the increasing number of vehicles put safety and reliability of vehicle maintenance under more pressure. Against this background, intelligent maintenance technologies based on artificial intelligence have become a game changer in the field of advanced rail transit, making full use of their superior data processing, remote monitoring, and diagnostic prediction capabilities.
Our rail intelligent maintenance system solution is based on the Internet of Things, uses big data as its carrier, and artificial intelligence as its core. It offers end-to-end life-cycle management for front-end equipment and supports proactive prediction, real-time handling, and post-event analysis, thus covering safety from multiple angles. This solution tackles a range of conventional maintenance problems like fault localization not being precise, analysis being untimely, and response being delayed. It not just radically brings down the maintenance cost but also increases the maintenance efficiency, eventually realizing the dream of full-area coverage, network-wide sharing, all-time availability, and end-to-end controllability. The system will automatically create and dispatch work orders to the maintenance personnel for prompt fault investigation and resolution.
The intelligent evolution of rail transit is simultaneously going deep towards a higher stage: autonomous operation. The idea is to combine sensors, AI, big data, wireless communication, robotics, and other disruptive technologies to give trains the ability to do beyond-visual-range perception, intelligent diagnosis, and autonomous decision-making—in short, to have "eyes over the horizon," "acute hearing," and a "human-like brain." It is expected that autonomous train operation will have the characteristics of self-perception, self-diagnosis, and self-decision-making in complicated and changeable environments, and the operation will be safe, efficient, and resilient. At first, it will be driver-assisting or remote-control-enabled, but eventually, it will set the stage for the driver to be totally replaced and the higher levels of autonomous operation to be realized.
On this track, pertinent research and development organizations have their ears to the ground of significant national strategic challenges, turning their eyes on autonomous operation of advanced rail transit through technology breakthroughs, theoretical innovation, technology development, equipment manufacturing, and marketing of the core equipment, thereby mapping out a comprehensive theoretical framework for autonomous operation, which will cover perception, diagnosis, communication, and control. Their aim is to master core technologies such as beyond-visual-range collaborative perception, autonomous tracking, real-time in-transit detection and diagnosis, and high-reliability information transmission, thus becoming the "source" of indigenous and controllable technologies for the industry and setting a global benchmark in autonomous operation system technologies for rail transit. These endeavors not only lay down the groundwork for the realization of a beautiful transportation nation but also serve as a new feather in the cap of China's high-speed rail on the international scene. In this journey, the ever-changing and deeply integrated Intelligent Maintenance system is evolving continually, becoming the foundation for the safety, reliability, and high efficiency of the entire ecosystem.
