The goal of our work is to design a big data architecture for enabling analytical tasks typical required by the railway industry as well as enabling an effective data management policy to allows end-users to manage huge amounts of data coming from railway lines efficiently. As already mentioned, we considered predictive maintenance as the main task of our architecture; hence to show the effectiveness of the proposed architecture, we use real data collected from points placed over the Italian railway line (Milano -Monza -Chiasso). These log files are heterogeneous in type and contain different information resumed as: Data 3 and 4 are considered to train and evaluate the proposed model to estimate the health status of the points, thus to estimate its RUL (see Sect. ./cache/cord-024870-79hf7q2r.txt ./txt/cord-024870-79hf7q2r.txt
