TieLife

ZETA-TECH’s Tie Maintenance and Replacement Planning Model (TieLife™) is an integrated tie life forecasting system that generates tie maintenance and replacement plans for all cross-ties in the system network. TieLife™ is an interactive user-friendly Windows™ application that allows the user to make the most efficient decisions pertaining to tie replacement and maintenance.

TieLife™ utilizes statistical and empirical techniques for determining rail degradation based on actual inspection information. TieLife™ calculates remaining life of each homogeneous track segment, e.g., each mile; based on current tie condition, past and future traffic history, timber characteristics, tie replacement history, operating environment, etc. Life calculations include both mean (average) tie life and distribution about the mean so as to allow for specific determination of tie replacement requirements, by segment.

TieLife™ calculates next tie gang due date for each segment and develops a short, medium, and long term maintenance and replacement plan.
