A Bayesian network model for prediction of weather-related failures in railway turnout systems

作者:

Highlights:

• A failure prediction model based on Bayesian network is proposed.

• An Entropy Minimization-Based method is presented to discretize model variables.

• Learning parameters from small data sets by using a causal noisy MAX model.

• The causal relationship between the weather and failures of turnouts is captured.

• Experiments indicate that the proposed method outperforms other algorithms.
