Abstract
The railway asset management needs to improve significantly, smarter maintenance and repair methods are required. EU-funded programs like In2Smart are expected to bring innovative solutions to the railway sector. This project has aimed to support the research work performed at Cranfield University for Network Rail in the autonomous repair and inspection rail platform. Network Rail is directly involved in the EU-funded project In2Smart2. One of its objectives (WP 13) is to bring the control and command system of a robotic platform for maintenance of the rail infrastructure from a concept demonstrator (TRL 4) to a more mature level (TRL 7). For this purpose, an exhaustive analysis of existing documentation was carried out to produce a series of diagrams highlighting the collaborators interactions and activities. A gap analysis was also performed to identify the missing activities from lower TRLs (TRL 1 to TRL 4) and track the activities required to achieve higher TRLs (TRL 5 to TRL 7). Also, a Validation & Verification (V&V) of an existing TRL self-assessment tool was conducted. The purpose of this instrument was to simplify and systematize the evaluation of innovative technologies development. The tool was then upgraded with improved features like incorporating objective evidences to back up the requirements completion, incorporating Manufacturing Readiness options
or improving the overall user interface among others. The different project diagrams, technology maturity gap analysis and the improved self-assessment TRL tool will provide Network Rail management useful information to build follow up strategies.
