This book explores the application of breakthrough technologies to
improve transportation performance. Transportation systems
represent the "blood vessels" of a society, in which people and
goods travel. They also influence people's lives and affect the
liveability and sustainability of our cities. The book shows how
emergent technologies are able to monitor the condition of the
structure in real time in order to schedule the right moment for
maintenance activities an so reduce the disturbance to users. This
book is a valuable resource for those involved in research and
development in this field. Part I discusses the context of
transportation systems, highlighting the major issues and
challenges, the importance of understating human factors that could
affect the maintenance operations and the main goals in terms of
safety standards. Part II focuses on process-oriented innovations
in transportation systems; this section stresses the importance of
including design parameters in the planning, offering a comparison
between risk-based and condition-based maintenance and, lastly,
showing applications of emergent technologies. Part III goes on to
reflect on the technical-oriented innovations, discussing the
importance of studying the physical phenomena that are behind
transportation system failures and problems. It then introduces the
general trend of collecting and analyzing big data using real-world
cases to evaluate the positive and negative aspects of adopting
extensive smart sensors for gathering information on the health of
the assets. The last part (IV) explores cultural and behavioural
changes, and new knowledge management methods, proposing novel
forms of maintenance and vocational training, and introduces the
need for radical new visions in transportation for managing
unexpected events. The continuous evolution of maintenance fields
suggests that this compendium of "state-of-the-art" applications
will not be the only one; the authors are planning a collection of
cutting-edge examples of transportation systems that can assist
researchers and practitioners as well as students in the process of
understanding the complex and multidisciplinary environment of
maintenance engineering applied to the transport sector.
