The primary objective of the project Onboard diagnosis system for high-speed trains is to guarantee the high availability of InterCity-Express (ICE) trains during the whole lifetime using condition based maintenance procedures. This ensures also a significant improvement of operational safety of railway vehicles. The detailed specification of an InterCity-Express onboard diagnosis system requires therefore the establishment of broad basis of data and knowledge to determine appropriate sensor positions, measuring principles, assessment algorithms and failure-specific features.
