The maintenance window and the timetable are the same decision.
Rail infrastructure is an interconnected system of rolling stock, track, stations, depots, people and schedules. Mantikon is designed to join operating data, maintenance, spare-part availability and transport planning so that technical readiness and the timetable are decided together rather than in sequence.
- Next waveDesigned as an application area; a demonstrated world model in this domain comes first.
- Who decidesOperator, rolling-stock maintenance company, repair planning
- Typical sourcesMaintenance logs, depot capacity, parts stock, crew rosters, timetables
- 01
Mandatory first
The technical agent states the intervals and limits that cannot be traded, and everything else is planned around them.
Constraints - 02
Cost the disruption
The operational agent evaluates what taking each unit out of service does to the timetable, and the logistics agent checks whether the depot will have the parts.
Trade-offs - 03
Learn from repetition
Recurring faults, the causes of delay and the real utilization of repair capacity accumulate in one record rather than in separate reports.
Ledger
A worked
example
Illustrative scenario, not a customer case.
Several trains are due for maintenance in the same week, and depot capacity is limited. Mantikon analyses the technical condition of each set, the mandatory service intervals, crew availability, stock levels and the transport load that is coming.
The technical agent fixes the obligatory requirements. The operational agent estimates the effect of withdrawing each set on the schedule. The logistics agent examines whether the depot can be supplied with the necessary parts in time.
The platform produces admissible maintenance schedules and shows which of them minimize disruption to services while meeting the safety requirements in full.
Scope and
measures
Example workflows
Maintenance scheduling · fleet availability · parts planning · delay cause analysis.
Evaluation metrics
Availability of rolling stock · schedule disruption from maintenance · depot utilization · repeat fault rate.
Disclosure
Signalling, train movement and other safety-critical functions remain with the certified systems that own them.
