DS3a

Support for optimal decision making when handling an incipient
(or real) fault on a passenger train while it is in normal service

On detection of symptoms which can represent a fault occurring on the train or likely to occur in the near future, all involved actors are alerted and involved, according to the level of criticality. Operator, Maintainer and Traffic Manager can exchange information and optimised solutions can be defined and suggested about how to handle the situation, in order to minimise the overall impact on the railway system.
