PhD topic – Intelligent data fusion and analytics framework

Research summary
Downer has built a digital platform called TrainDNA, which seeks to digitise data taken from internal and external train monitoring systems. This platform uses cognitive computing tools to display up-to-date information on train location and status. Building upon this platform, the data science capability was augmented using Deakin University research methodology to develop algorithms for predicting remaining useful life of Bogie components.
Expected completion date
