At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams, to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day, more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

 

We are looking for a Master thesis student to join our team in Västerås

 

Topic proposed: ​​Automated analysis of free text fault and repair reports ​ 

Duration: 20 weeks, on-site

 

Background

The thesis project will focus on exploring and assessing different state-of-the-art strategies such as different LLM models, to better connect fault reports to the resulting repair reports, along with enough data to understand what areas should be addressed to increase the overall reliability and availability of the product. These reports, change requests and other documentation are mostly free text.

 

Problem description and goals

Selected strategies will then be developed on a conceptual level for the data available in the TC&C Platform, analyzed and evaluated providing recommendations on a process and architecture for such an automated system. Overall, the goal can be described as: 

  1. Introduction to train control and communication platform, including relevant products for the scope. 

  1. Introduction to Alstom’s processes including fault reports, repair reports, change requests, and configuration management. 

  1. Survey of state-of-the-art research in automated text analysis. 

  1. Definition of assessment criteria. 

  1. Assessment and selection of preferred solutions and strategies. 

  1. Concept development. 

  1. Evaluation. 

  1. Analysis, conclusions, and reporting. 

 

The scope of the project can be adapted to suit one or two thesis students.
