Abstract In view of the problems of over-maintenance and under-maintenance in the current urban rail transit maintenance strategy and the reliability of single processing of fault data, which is often inconsistent with the actual situation, an incomplete preventive maintenance strategy based on the competitive Weibull model is proposed in this paper. To make the fault mechanism processing method for urban rail vehicles more accurate, fault feature attributes and fault information sequences are introduced to classify fault data. Fuzzy cluster analysis of vehicle fault data can be performed using the formula of the competitive Weibull model, and parameter estimation of the reliability model can be performed by combining it with the graph parameter estimation method. In addition, the fault rate increase factor and service age reduction factor are introduced into the maintenance strategy, and the optimal preventive maintenance cycle and maintenance times are obtained by combining maintenance and replacement according to reliability. A quantum-genetic intelligent algorithm is used to optimize the model-solving process. Finally, the maintenance of urban rail transit train doors is taken as an example. The results of this study show that compared with the traditional maintenance strategy, the reliability of the proposed maintenance strategy is closer to the actual situation. At the same time, the proposed maintenance strategy can effectively reduce the number of parked vehicles, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure the safety of train operation, maintenance economy and performance of tasks.

With the successful application of automatic fare collection (AFC) system in urban rail transit (URT), the information of passengers’ travel time is recorded, which provides the possibility to analyze passengers’ path-selecting by AFC data. In this paper, the distribution characteristics of the components of travel time were analyzed, and an estimation method of path-selecting proportion was proposed. This method made use of single path ODs’ travel time data from AFC system to estimate the distribution parameters of the components of travel time, mainly including entry walking time (ewt), exit walking time (exwt), and transfer walking time (twt). Then, for multipath ODs, the distribution of each path’s travel time could be calculated under the condition of its components’ distributions known. After that, each path’s path-selecting proportion can be estimated. Finally, simulation experiments were designed to verify the estimation method, and the results show that the error rate is less than 2%. Compared with the traditional models of flow assignment, the estimation method can reduce the cost of artificial survey significantly and provide a new way to calculate the path-selecting proportion for URT.

In order to determine a reasonable scale of rail transit network in Xi'an, four influencing factors are analyzed. Based on the introduction of three indicators of rail transit network scale and the network density index, a method of rail transit network scale is proposed. Also, the determination method of parameters is given. The method is used to forecast the rail transit network scale with the actual situation of Xi'an. The result shows that the scale of Xi'an rail transit network is about 550km.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an effective treatment to analyze and diagnose urban rail transit (URT) vehicle maintenance strategy. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, the technique of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is introduced into the examination of URT trains, first. Then the method of fuzzy-set-based assessment for FMEA is presented, which is the quantitative tool of Fuzzy-Set-based treatment for FMEA in analysis and diagnoses to URT maintenance strategy. Moreover, recommendations for further improvement of the proposed approach are also provided. Initial application into the vehicle maintenance of Shanghai URT System shows, that the proposed approach has a good performance and consequently is worth further development. Findings – The paper presents a FMEA and fuzzy-set-based theoretical approach for analyzing and diagnosing current methods in URT vehicle maintenance strategy. Practical implications – With rapid development of URT systems in the world especially in those highly populated areas, much more attentions are turning to researches on URT maintenance, nevertheless, few quantitative research achievement are mentioned or applied. This paper is a tentative attempt at introducing fuzzy-set theory into quantitative analysis and diagnoses of URT maintenance strategy. Originality/value – The study in this paper is helpful in theory and practice of URT maintenance and its methodology could be further applied into a broad family of facility group or system in other engineering fields.
