Summary
Recently, big data analytics has been applied in various fields with the development of information technology and analysis tools. However, there are few examples of big data analytics in the field of railway mechanical systems, because vehicle performance is evaluated using motion analysis or experiments under specific conditions. By contrast, condition monitoring systems are introduced in the railway systems, and these monitoring systems enable big data to be accumulated during commercial operations. In this paper, the big data of running records in railway systems are analyzed by using a naive Bayes classifier, one of the methods of big data analytics, and the individualities of railway vehicles are identified.
