This follows a procedural action to prepare a database for the lifecycle optimization based on the lifecycle performance and the direct and indirect consequences. Hence, this contribution attempts to show the prospect of optimizing the maintenance time of infrastructures at a railway network level using probabilistic approaches. At this stage, the contribution presents the general procedure to be followed in the project ILCA and emphasizes on probabilistic approach and selected performance indicators and prediction techniques to be applied in the estimation of the remaining lifetime of the infrastructures at a network level. This illustration of the probabilistic performance approach includes the concepts of uncertainty quantifications: random variable and stochastic structural deterioration processes. With Lifecycle model development for a selected railway network, first the components of the network such as rail tracks and bridges are treated separately, eventually be combined to assess the lifecycle of the entire network. This facilitates the study and suitability verification of deterioration and performance prediction models for the components of the whole network.
