Abstract :
Reliability, in the sense of safety and punctuality is a principal objective of railway management to keep ahead of competition. Reliability effort of European railways and the impact of modern methods for improving reliability is discussed. Further progress in this field depends on modern information systems and complex data processing. The proposed European data-processing system therefore and the already installed systems of several European railway authorities are introduced.
