Abstract

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a hypothesised asset management decision framework implemented with a High-Speed Railway Infrastructure Asset in the U.K over a three-year period. The physical infrastructure asset(s) consists of a complex assemblage of components and classic engineering fraternities; such as Electrical Transmission and Distribution Systems, Civils Assets, Track Systems, Signalling and Communications, Software, SCADA etc, and Assets. In addition, the asset interacts with many U.K and International suppliers, contractors and service providers. Spanning over 218km with large linear assets the railway provides services for high speed trains connecting the U.K to wider European and domestic services, providing significant economic benefit to the U.K Economy, Social Mobility, Urban Development and National Skills development for many Transportation sectors.
