To remain competitive in a transport market, railway needs to increase reliability and to reduce the transport costs. Timely detection of a fault or defect can prevent a possible accident and can reduce maintenance costs. This paper presents a model for selection of locations for wayside train monitoring systems that are used to detect faults on the wagons. We present two models: first, based on multi-criteria decision making method is used for selecting a macro location, and second model based on fuzzy logic is used to determine a micro location of a wayside train monitoring system work station on Serbian rail network.

Keywords: wayside train monitoring systems; fuzzy logic; multi-criteria decision analysis
