I am working on my master's thesis, and I want to study "Accurate lifetime statistics, prediction and repair decision of orbital critical equipment". In China, the gross passed tonnage of railway lines is a key indicator to measure the life of track equipment. Gross passed tonnage refers to the cumulative total mass of various rolling stock passing through a certain section of the line over a period of time. So I wonder how the gross passed tonnage is calculated in Europe and the United States? Are there relevant journals, conference papers, reports or technical standards?
