Train Management Platform for advanced maintenance of Passenger Information Systems

A Passenger Information System provides information about the train´s running to the passengers on-board. Many nodes are present in this system, located all along the train. To guarantee that the information provided is correct and to perform predictive maintenance on this system in order to reduce costs, an intelligent distributed software application is presented in this paper. This proposed application eases the tasks of fault detection and correlation and can lead to an improvement in performance by aiding in the task of preventive maintenance.
