ABSTRACT
Modernization of aged rolling stock is one of the possibilities to adapt it to the current
requirements for better environmental friendliness and economy of railway transport. However, some vehicle upgrades lead to new failures that were not observed in the original
vehicles. The cause is the so-called “hybrid design”, built on a combination of original and
selected new components. The aim of the work was to improve the situation with frequent
failures and unavailability that occur on the modernized locomotive where a new diesel
engine and new electronic control system was installed. Within the work, a simplified methodology for evaluating the outputs of diagnostic equipment was developped based on and
applied to specific locomotive type and its diesel engine. The methodology resulted in a
significant reduction of the time for assessing the condition of the vehicle’s diesel engine and
more effective maintenance. The paper also presents other possibilities in the analysis of big
data in the maintenance of rolling stock e.g. using fuzzy logic.
