Reliability and Operation Diagnostics of Light Rail Electric Transport in Estonia

This paper describes a research of maintenance system and development of new control and operation diagnostics of KT4 type trams in Tallinn (Estonia). System operation modes and diagnostic methods were studied during hard and software development of trams. Also it gives a short overview of used methods, integrations problems and profitability calculation
