EcoTrack Improvement Problem Formulation

This document further details the key problem areas of EcoTrack, and presents the key issues involved in producing an improved system. Various solutions to each problem area are presented and potential areas of complication are discussed. The problem areas of EcoTrack covered in this paper are; • When to perform maintenance / renewal works, • What maintenance / renewal works to perform, • The cost of delaying / bringing forward maintenance / renewal works. Furthermore, an in-depth discussion of the requirements of data needed in the development of an improved maintenance and renewal decision support tool is presented, as well as possible evaluation criteria for the finished proposed system. Finally, an architecture of the proposed system is presented, which includes a detailed description of the key functionality areas, as well as areas for future development work (for increased / improved functionality).
