A reliability-based prognostics framework for railway track management (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Chiachío, J., Chiachío, M., Prescott, D., & Andrews, J. (2017). A reliability-based prognostics framework for railway track management.

Railway track geometry deterioration due to traffic loading is a complex problem with important implications in cost and safety. Without appropriate maintenance, track deterioration can lead to severe speed restrictions or disruptions, and in extreme...

Using reliability analysis to support decision making in phased mission systems (2017)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., & Prescott, D. (2017). Using reliability analysis to support decision making in phased mission systems. Quality and Reliability Engineering International, 33(8), 2105-2119. https://doi.org/10.1002/qre.2170

Due to the environments in which they will operate, future autonomous systems must be capable of reconfiguring quickly and safely following faults or environmental changes. Past research has shown how, by considering autonomous systems to perform pha... Read More about Using reliability analysis to support decision making in phased mission systems.

A hierarchical coloured Petri net model of fleet maintenance with cannibalisation (2017)
Journal Article
Sheng, J., & Prescott, D. (2017). A hierarchical coloured Petri net model of fleet maintenance with cannibalisation. Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 168, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ress.2017.05.043

Cannibalisation refers to a maintenance action where an unserviceable part in an inoperative platform is replaced by a serviceable part of the same type from another platform. It helps a fleet meet operational requirements when spares are in short su... Read More about A hierarchical coloured Petri net model of fleet maintenance with cannibalisation.
