Integrated Railway Asset Management and Investment Prioritisation

A national railway infrastructure manager implemented an Asset Management Platform to support integrated, lifecycle-based management of railway infrastructure in line with ISO 55000 principles. Covering approximately 24,000 kilometres of linear railway assets and systems across signalling, electrical systems, infrastructure and telecommunications, the platform combines inventory, condition, risk, reliability, obsolescence, geolocation and economic information with algorithms and indicators that evaluate the lifecycle of railway assets. The platform turns fragmented technical data into a common decision environment for preventive and corrective maintenance, renewal and modernisation planning, while supporting higher safety and service levels, reduced unproductive time and more efficient asset control and monitoring

Prioritised Maintenance and Renewal. Define action plans, prioritizing different key factors: critically, cost, budget

価値

Lifecycle-Based Investment Decisions

From fragmented asset information to risk- and value-based railway decisions

A national railway infrastructure manager needed to determine where renewal budgets would deliver the greatest value, identify locations and assets with the most critical safety and performance conditions, and compare maintenance, replacement and modernisation policies across a large and diverse railway portfolio

目的

Create an enterprise asset-management platform based on ISO 55000 principles, comply with railway safety regulations, specifically with signalling devices, that characterises linear railway assets through technical indicators and algorithms, quantifies risk and economic implications, and supports the prioritisation of lifecycle interventions

機会

Integrating inventory, defects, failures, analytics, GIS, assess security levels , service levels, and economic assessment enables consistent comparison of intervention options across territories and asset families. The platform can strengthen investment governance by linking technical condition, service levels, risk and whole-life value within a shared decision process

Creating a common asset-management model across a nationwide railway portfolio

NTT DATA supported the design and implementation of the asset characterisation, calculation models, integration capabilities, economic methodology, economic plans and management dashboards required to make the Asset Management Platform a practical decision-support environment

主な課題

Consolidating asset information distributed across inventories, defect records, failure systems, analytics sources and geographical platforms

Defining consistent indicators for risk, criticality, useful life, obsolescence, availability and reliability across different asset families

Comparing maintenance, renewal and modernisation alternatives through a transparent technical and economic methodology and economic plans

Providing territorial and central teams with governed access, traceability and actionable portfolio-level reporting

解決策

Integrated asset intelligence for lifecycle and investment decisions

NTT DATA delivered an integrated asset-management approach combining consistent lifecycle and risk models, unified technical and geographical information, economic prioritization, and governed reporting to support maintenance, renewal and investment decisions across the railway network

Established an ISO 55000-aligned asset model

Configured consistent indicators and calculation models for risk, useful life, obsolescence, availability and reliability across railway assets

Integrated asset and geographical information

Connected inventory, defect, failure and analytical data with GIS and BIM-based infrastructure information, giving teams a unified view of asset location, condition and network context

Implemented economic assessment and prioritisation

Defined a methodology to compare maintenance, renewal and modernisation actions using lifecycle cost, service levels and operational impact, supporting four-year economic plans by asset group

Delivered governed dashboards and reporting

Implemented role-based access, dashboards and customised reporting through a business intelligence platform, helping teams visualise risk hierarchies and key indicators for decision-making.

影響

Asset intelligence becomes a common basis for maintenance and investment governance

The Asset Management Platform gives a national railway infrastructure manager a unified view of technical, risk, economic and geographical information, supporting transparent intervention prioritisation, stronger decision traceability and lifecycle planning across engineering, maintenance and investment

Smart Grid for a More Efficient and Resilient Railway Network

A railway infrastructure operator implemented a smart-grid pilot on a major high-speed rail corridor to improve the monitoring and management of traction-power infrastructure, including electrical substations. The solution integrates telecontrol systems, energy meters, network analysers and an enterprise IoT platform, centralising consumption, power-quality and operational information in real time. This digital foundation supports a more proactive approach to energy management, asset maintenance and infrastructure reliability.

Cybersecurity Incident Response and Critical Infrastructure Recovery

Following a major cyberattack affecting a railway infrastructure manager, NTT DATA delivered incident-response and compromise-recovery services to assess the impact, contain the threat and restore control over critical technology infrastructure. The engagement included analysis of compromised accounts, access paths and persistence mechanisms, recovery of affected workstations and servers, and review of the security tools operating in the environment. The response combined crisis execution with a structured path towards stronger monitoring, resilience and preparedness
