The introduction of electric vehicles into city traffic enables a better use of economic re- sources, significantly reduces environmental pollution and increases traffic safety, because such ve- hicles encourage safer driving. In order to achieve the best results, it is necessary to ensure adequate infrastructure and all conditions that enable the greatest efficiency of individual influences and their complete synergy. The systematic and encouraged introduction of electric vehicles is the most impor- tant measure for improving city traffic.
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.
