Overcoming time constraints and wet conditions on equipment maintenance 

When performing a repair application on a metallic surface with polymeric paste grade composites, it is always desirable to work on surfaces that have been dried, cleaned and specially prepared. These surfaces offer the best conditions for an optimum adhesion and bonding of the repair material. Having plenty of time to carry out the repair does not hurt either, but unfortunately these conditions are not always available.
Deriving Quantitative Requirements for the Reliability of the On-board ETCS

The method is developed around an operational scenario that involves the removal of an immobilised train from an area controlled by a signalman.  A value for the mean time between immobilising failures (MTBIF) of the on-board ETCS is estimated on the basis of  a proposed set of operational parameters and its  sensitivity to parameter changes is analysed using a spider diagram.
