An ensemble-based change-point detection method for identifying unexpected behaviour of railway tunnel infrastructures (2018)
Journal Article
Vagnoli, M., & Remenyte-Prescott, R. (2018). An ensemble-based change-point detection method for identifying unexpected behaviour of railway tunnel infrastructures. Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 81, 68-82. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tust.2018.07.013

A large amount of data is generated by Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems and, as a consequence, processing and interpreting this data can be difficult and time consuming. Particularly, if work activities such as maintenance or modernization...

A Petri Net-based life cycle cost analysis approach (2018)
Journal Article
Kilsby, P., Remenyte-Prescott, R., & Andrews, J. (2019). A Petri Net-based life cycle cost analysis approach. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit, 233(1), 90-102. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954409718780106

Railway infrastructure providers, such as Network Rail, who owns and manages the British railway infrastructure, can improve the performance and reduce the life cycle cost of their assets through delivering effective asset management. Having the capa... Read More about A Petri Net-based life cycle cost analysis approach.

A data mining tool for detecting and predicting abnormal behaviour of railway tunnels (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vagnoli, M., Remenyte-Prescott, R., Thompson, D., Andrews, J., Clarke, P., & Atkinson, N. A data mining tool for detecting and predicting abnormal behaviour of railway tunnels. Presented at 11th International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring (IWSHM 2017)

The UK railway network is subjected to an electrification process that aims to electrify most of the network by 2020. This upgrade will improve the capacity, reliability and efficiency of the transportation system by providing cleaner, quicker and mo...

Towards a real-time Structural Health Monitoring of railway bridges (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vagnoli, M., Remenyte-Prescott, R., & Andrews, J. Towards a real-time Structural Health Monitoring of railway bridges. Presented at 52nd ESReDA Seminar on Critical Infrastructures Enhancing Preparedness & Resilience for the security of citizens and services supply continuity

More than 350,000 railway bridges are present on the European railway network, making them a key infrastructure of the whole railway network. Railway bridges are continuously exposed to changing environmental threats, such as wind, floods and traffic... Read More about Towards a real-time Structural Health Monitoring of railway bridges.

A sensor selection method for fault diagnostics (2017)
Book Chapter
Reeves, J., Remenyte-Prescott, R., & Andrews, J. (2017). A sensor selection method for fault diagnostics. In Safety and Reliability – Theory and Application: ESREL 2017. CRC Press

In the modern world, systems are becoming increasingly complex, consisting of large numbers of components and their failures. In order to monitor system performance and to detect faults and diagnose failures, sensors can be used. However, using senso... Read More about A sensor selection method for fault diagnostics.

A fuzzy-based Bayesian Belief Network approach for railway bridge condition monitoring and fault detection (2017)
Book Chapter
Vagnoli, M., Remenyte-Prescott, R., & Andrews, J. (2017). A fuzzy-based Bayesian Belief Network approach for railway bridge condition monitoring and fault detection. In Safety and Reliability – Theory and Application: ESREL 2017. CRC Press

More than 35% of the European railway bridges are over 100 years old and the increasing traffic loads are pushing the railway infrastructure to its limits. Bridge condition-monitoring strategies can help the railway industry to improve safety, availa...

Railway bridge fault detection using Bayesian belief network (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vagnoli, M., Remenyte-Prescott, R., & Andrews, J. Railway bridge fault detection using Bayesian belief network. Presented at Stephenson Conference: Research for Railways

Bridges are one of the most critical structures of the railway system. External loads may affect the bridge health state, and consequently their safety, availability and reliability can be improved by monitoring their condition and planning maintenan...
