Remaining Useful Life Modelling With an Escalator Health Condition Analytic System

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, Volume 41, Issue 8, Page 3746-3758, December 2025.
ABSTRACT An escalator's refurbishment is usually linked with its design life as recommended by the manufacturer. However, the actual useful life of an escalator should be determined by its operating condition, which is affected by the runtime, workload, maintenance quality and vibration, rather than age only. The objective of this project is to develop
