In complex railway projects, the systematic planning of reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) is a central component of project development. Enotrac supports infrastructure operators, vehicle manufacturers and system suppliers in implementing the requirements of the European standard EN 50126, which defines the life cycle approach for RAMS in railway systems.
Enotrac has many years of experience in the application of EN 50126 and offers practical support in the creation of RAMS concepts and plans, the performance of risk analyses (e.g. using FMEA, FTA), defining and tracking safety requirements, coordinating verification and validation activities, and documentation in accordance with normative requirements.
A current example of the application of this approach is the Täsch–Zermatt tunnel project of the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB). The aim of the project is to significantly increase the operational safety and availability of the line while reducing the cost of maintenance and upkeep. Enotrac was commissioned to develop a RAMS concept as part of the preliminary project. This concept defines key RAMS milestones and lays the foundation for structured verification of RAMS requirements throughout the entire project. This ensures that safety-related and operational requirements are identified at an early stage and systematically taken into account.
Our interdisciplinary teams combine technical expertise with a deep understanding of regulatory requirements and project realities. In this way, we create the basis for safe, reliable and economically viable systems.
