As the global shift towards an urbanised society continues, the provision of sustainable public transport options becomes increasingly essential. Train stations serve as primary gateways for metropolitan mobility and must demonstrate high levels of reliability to remain desirable for public use. To ensure these systems remain functional over many decades, it is necessary to move away from isolated component maintenance and towards an integrated management approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many contemporary transit facilities struggle with the challenge of synchronous ageing across diverse structural and architectural elements. Because these components are physically and operationally interdependent, their upkeep cannot be managed in silos. A sophisticated framework is required to evaluate how the deterioration of a single part affects the service life and environmental footprint of the entire facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
