The Smart Rolling Stock Maintenance Research Facility (SRSMRF) is a new £1.8 million project led by the University of Huddersfield’s Institute of Railway Research (IRR). The project is investigating how cutting edge-technology and data analysis could improve the efficiency and reliability of how the UK’s railway rolling stock is maintained. The project will investigate the use of industrial automation, advanced condition-monitoring with data analytics, the use of augmented reality and automated maintenance planning and scheduling.
