The modern entrepreneurial sensibility of the company’s business implies directing the right information to the appropriate parts of the company at the right time. That is why it is necessary to digitalize processes as much as possible and make the organization “intelligent”, and its human resources, to the greatest extent, the knowledge workers. The application of neural networks, i.e. nonlinear prediction models, enables systematic analysis of data in the function of evaluating the behavior of the system. Neural networks are a powerful tool, especially for forecasting trends and forecasting based on historical data. The grouping method, i.e., the k-mean value algorithm, is used as a precursor to neural networks.
The availability of real-time data on the state of railway facilities and the state-of-the art technologies for data collection and analysis allow transition to the fourth generation maintenance. It is based on the prediction of the facility functional safety and dependability and the risk-oriented facility management. The article describes an approach to assessing the risks of hazardous facility failures using the latest digital data processing methods. The implementation of this approach will help set maintenance objectives and contribute to the efficient use of resources and the reduction of railway facility managers’ expenditures.
