Cloud computing provides a powerful, scalable and flexible infrastructure into which one can integrate, previously known, techniques and methods of Data Mining. The result of such integration should be strong and capacitive platform that will be able to deal with the increasing production of data, or that will create the conditions for the efficient mining of massive amounts of data from various data warehouses with the aim of creating (useful) information or the production of new knowledge. This paper discusses such technology – the technology of big data mining, known as Cloud Data Mining (CDM).
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.
