Determining the requirement and location and deciding on the time and sources of repair action is a difficult process, influenced by requirements on cost minimization and operational constraints. The particular sections of the railway track react differently to traffic and non-traffic loads, which implies the need to determine the format of development of structural quality indicators and decision-making is based on a large amount of technical and economic information, the interconnection of which is determined by the infrastructure manager. The decision-making process on repair work in the railway infrastructure management system is therefore based on the analysis of diagnostic data, technical, technological, environmental, and economic information, or the personal professional experience of the staff of the infrastructure manager. Understanding the causes of the structure’s behaviour in this process leads to the identification of its weaknesses and the ability to predict its behaviour, which allows for timely planning and accurate targeting of adequate repair work to minimize the occurrence of structural faults.
