The RailLife Forecasting Model (RailLife) is an analytical software tool for helping users determine when rail requires replacement based on failure/degradation history and predefined safety/maintenance thresholds. RailLife utilizes statistical and empirical techniques for determining rail degradation based on actual inspection information. Two primary techniques are utilized, the Weibull statistical technique evaluates rail fatigue, and multivariate regression techniques evaluate rail wear. Both techniques make use of inspection car information (ultrasonic test results and rail wear measurements) for the engineering analyses.
