Part 3. Guide to the application for rolling stock RAM
1 Scope
This Part of GB/T 21562 provides guidance on applying the RAM requirements
in GB/T 21562-2008 to rolling stock during the system life cycle phases from
invitation to tender to demonstration in operation.
The Part is aimed at the customers/operators and main suppliers of rolling stock
(including D-series high-speed train). It mainly specifies the following contents.
- Tasks which the customer/operator of rolling stock is responsible for.
 SPECIFY the RAM requirements, ADDRESS the type of operation in
terms of the end customer needs, service availability, and economic
considerations;
 EVALUATE different tenders, in terms of RAM requirements, on a
common basis with the aid of specific RAM documents;
 CONFIRM whether, during design/development phase, the rolling
stock satisfies the RAM requirements by examining step by step
detailed and specific RAM documents as an output of the RAM
activities performed; VALIDATE that the rolling stock, as delivered,
satisfies the specified RAM requirements.
- Tasks which the main supplier of rolling stock is responsible for.
 UNDERSTAND the customers/operators’ RAM requirements;
 PROVIDE substantive performance in a tender to show that the
product offered is likely to satisfy the RAM requirements by performing
preliminary RAM analysis;
 PROVIDE substantive performance during design/development
phase to show that the product offered is likely to satisfy the RAM
requirements by performing detailed RAM analysis;
 DEMONSTRATE that the product delivered satisfies the RAM
requirements.
Regarding LCC model, this Part specifies only the required key RAM
parameters.
This Part excludes the following contents.
- RAM values connected to the different RAM requirements (However, 5.4
provides a simple guideline of actions for more in-depth decision making
and selection of appropriate values);
- Specific RAM documents and activities (However, this Part provides, only
as an example, typical data and document templates for recording the
output of a RAM analysis).

a family of products with the same characteristics of form, fit, and function.
3 Approach
3.1 General
To determine the requirements of GB/T 21562-2008 and the basic conditions
for these requirements, for each phase of the life cycle, the following questions
shall be addressed.
- WHAT. What activities/tasks are to be performed and the supporting
documents to be produced?
- WHO. Who has the responsibility for these activities/tasks?
- HOW. Which type of method or tool shall be used?
This process is adopted for the development of the Part and shall be applied in
accordance with the structure of the application.
3.2 Entities involved in the life cycle phases of rolling stock
Depending on the organizational and management structure of the railway
system concerned, a number of entities, performing different functions, may be
involved within the life cycle phases of rolling stock. The entities in the contract
e) ESTABLISH and IMPLEMENT an adequate and effective configuration
management system including, at least.
1) All system documentation;
2) All other system deliverables.
Both the customer and the main supplier shall provide evidence by documents
about the fulfilment of the above mandatory requirements, within their
responsibility. The RAM program shall include these documents.
5 SPECIFY RAM requirements
5.1 Introductory remarks
The purpose of this chapter is to establish the process to define RAM
requirements for rolling stock and for the subsystems, assemblies, and parts
(distinguished by their boundary limits) belonging to the rolling stock.
This chapter gives detailed information on the requirements of phases 1, 2, 4,
and 5 of system life cycle described in 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, and 6.5 of GB/T 21562-
2008.
The system definition process shall first collect all available data and relevant
information about the rolling stock under consideration.
The final goal is the derivation of RAM targets through the appropriate analysis
of all the information collected and organized in a structured way.
5.2 Preliminary RAM analysis
5.2.1 General
This clause complements 6.1.3.4, 6.2.3.1, 6.2.3.2, 6.4.3.1, and A.2 of GB/T
21562-2008 and gives further details.
The preliminary RAM analysis shall identify the application environment and the
operating conditions of the rolling stock, to recognize the fundamental concepts
based on the overall RAM requirements.
The analysis includes.
- Similar system review. CREAT a list of similar existing rolling stock, and
EXTRACT suitable RAM-related information;
- Preliminary system analysis. All available and relevant rolling stock
documentation is reviewed in order to define, at a preliminary level, the
maintenance conditions (including logistic support). Items contained in each of
these are listed below.
a) Mission profile.
1) Reference route;
2) Commercial operating speed (operating distance/operating time);
3) Mean distance of a run;
4) Mean distance between two train stops;
5) Operating time or distance per year;
6) Revenue of operating time or distance per year;
7) Stand-by time per day;
8) Idle time per day (i.e. time when the rolling stock is neither in operation
nor stand-by);
9) Planned total time of use (life expectancy in years).
b) Route profile.
1) Number of tunnels related to reference route;
2) Number of viaducts related to reference route;
3) Cumulative distance in tunnels;
4) Cumulative distance on surface, including viaducts;
5) Gradients and curves of the route and related lengths.
c) Operating conditions.
1) Equivalent speed related to the time the equipment is powered during
a given calendar period (cumulated distance/time the equipment is
powered over the period);
2) Time an equipment is powered over a given calendar period (This
parameter can be defined for each equipment, but is generally defined
for categories of equipment);
3) Time during which traction is activated;
4) Time or percentage of time during which electric braking is activated;
e) Maintenance conditions.
1) DEVELOP a maintenance plan (including minimum preventive
maintenance interval, maximum contemporary number of personnel
required for maintenance interval tasks, maximum standstill time to
complete maintenance interval tasks, etc.);
2) Number, location, and description of the sites for maintenance;
3) Description of the standard equipment, tools, and resources at the
maintenance sites.
5.2.2.3 Breakdown structure and boundary limits
5.2.2.3.1 General
Breakdown structure of the rolling stock is the most important baseline of the
identification process. Establishing a breakdown structure of the rolling stock,
gives a clear reference outline for all the activities and analyses, and supports
RAM program through the life cycle.
Generally, the operating scope of the breakdown structure is to set up the
borders of a system. By using an appropriate breakdown level for the system,
LIST all the subsystems belonging to the rolling stock; and DRAW out the
relationships existing between the different subsystems of the rolling stock.
RAM analyses can use the two methods.
- Functional breakdown;
- Physical breakdown.
The functional breakdown is often used to perform preliminary criticality
analyses. The last functional level allows consequences of functional failure
modes to be developed and the next physical level allows the critical subsystem
list to be developed.
The physical breakdown is used to perform maintainability analyses. The last
level of this breakdown is the line replaceable unit (LRU), as defined in 5.5.4.4.
This breakdown is sometimes called the logistic breakdown structure.
5.2.2.3.2 Common rules to set up a physical breakdown structure
The decomposition process of the breakdown structure shall be divided into
different levels step by step. All the subsystems and their functional
relationships shall be determined.
The decomposition process is based on a hierarchical breakdown in a top down
specification might be applied.
5.3 RAM requirements
5.3.1 General
This clause complements 4.5.2.2 and 6.4.3.2 of GB/T 21562-2008 and gives
further details.
This clause gives the most commonly used RAM requirements, guides the
customer to choose the most appropriate requirements for his rolling stock, and
also considers the legal requirements which may arise from regulations (if any).
In choosing the appropriate RAM requirements, the customer shall give priority
to the following items.
- System characteristics (mission profile, operating condition, and function
requirements, etc.);
- Economic implications;
- Practicalities (being able to measure RAM performance according to the
field operations, depending on the organizational and logistical structure,
and service procedures).
The customer shall document his process for choosing RAM requirements
stating the factors considered for the selected RAM requirements and giving a
description of each selected requirement.
5.3.2 Reliability targets
This clause provides guidance on the reliability target requirements (MTBF,
failure rate per million hours, or failure rate per million kilometers) of significant
(immobilizing) failure, major (service) failure, and minor failure.
The reliability targets are applicable to the total rolling stock and all its
subsystems, assemblies, and parts defined according to the boundary limits.
For each failure category, the customer shall specify the following reliability
targets.
- Maximum accepted failure rate;
- Minimum accepted MTBF/MTTF/MDBF.
The terms “hours/kilometers” represent hours/kilometers of service.
MTBF is intended for repairable units. MTTF is intended for non-repairable units.
Examples of logistical and administrative delays are as follows.
- Waiting time in the depot;
- Waiting time for spare parts;
- Time to prepare maintenance actions;
- Time to shunt rolling stock.
5.4 Process for choosing RAM figures
This clause complements 4.5.2.2 and 6.4.3.2 of GB/T 21562-2008 and gives
further details.
The aim of this clause is to provide simple guidance to help customers choose
appropriate figures for RAM requirements.
Considering the deliverables of the previous clauses, the customer shall
complete the following tasks.
a) ANALYZE rolling stock system identification and its breakdown structure;
b) CONSIDER functional requirements involved and the related subsystems;
c) DERIVE RAM requirements by analyzing the failure conditions of each
functional requirement;
d) CONSIDER RAM requirements of similar rolling stock;
e) REVIEW past RAM performances achieved;
f) CONSIDER technical evolution of the rolling stock under consideration;
g) EVALUATE the impact of new functionalities requested;
h) CONSIDER a realistic improvement of RAM requirements;
i) CONSIDER other specific and documented needs.
The above actions would enable the customer to make better choices with
substantial supporting documentation.
The customer shall document his process for choosing RAM figures stating how
to choose each figure.
