DETERMINING THE REMAINING SERVICE LIFE OF A VEHICLE COMPONENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining the remaining service life of a component of a vehicle operated on at least one prescribed route section (103) of a route network, particularly a railway vehicle, wherein the remaining service life is determined for a vehicle component (102.3) of the vehicle mechanically stressed by the interaction between the vehicle and the route section (103), wherein the remaining service life of the vehicle component (102.3) is determined from a prior loss of service life prescribed at the beginning of the usage interval for the vehicle component (102.3) and from a current loss of service life of the vehicle component (102.3) associated with the usage interval, and wherein the current loss of service is determined using an actual measured usage of the at least one route section (103) by the vehicle and a relative loss of service life related to the actual usage of the at least one route section (103), wherein the relative loss of service life has been determined in advance for the at least one route section (103) and at least the type of the vehicle.
