  ABSTRACT: The goal of railway rolling stock maintenance and replacement approaches is to reduce overall cost while increasing reliability which is multi objective optimization problem and a proper predictive maintenance scheduling table should be adequately designed. We propose Breeding Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) model based on the concepts of Breeding Swarm and Genetic Algorithm (GA) operators to design this table. The practical experiment shows that our model reduces cost while increasing reliability compared to other models previously utilized.
