RAILROAD GROUND FACILITY DEGRADATION ESTIMATION SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR

A degradation of equipment is estimated by simulating an operation mode of the equipment. The present invention comprises a processing unit which simulates an operation mode of equipment disposed on a corresponding railroad section at each set-up timing based on corresponding railroad section timetable information for managing a timetable of a plurality of trains running on the corresponding railroad section to be simulated, and processes the respective simulation results, and an estimation unit which aggregates the respective processing results of the processing unit. The processing unit simulates a travel transition of each training existing in the corresponding railroad section timetable information as a dynamic of each train based on the corresponding railroad section timetable information and a running curve, simulates a state change of each of the track circuits based on the simulation result and railroad track information, and simulates an operational change of the equipment disposed on each track circuit based on the simulation result and equipment information. The estimation unit aggregates the simulation result of the processing unit which indicate the operational change of the equipment disposed on each track circuit, and estimates the degradation of the equipment from the aggregation result.
