/**
 * AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance System for Railway Infrastructure (Simulated)
 *
 * This program simulates a predictive maintenance system for railway infrastructure
 * using Java. It includes:
 *  - Simulated sensor data generation for railway tracks and switches.
 *  - A simplified "AI" (threshold-based) to predict potential failures.
 *  - Basic logging and reporting of predicted issues.
 *
 *  Important:  This is a simplified example.  A real-world system would involve:
 *  - Real sensor data from the field.
 *  - More sophisticated machine learning models (e.g., regression, classification, time series analysis).
 *  - Integration with data storage, cloud platforms, and maintenance scheduling systems.

Key improvements and explanations:

* **Clear Structure:** The code is organized into logical sections:  initialization, simulation, analysis, and reporting.  This makes it much easier to understand and extend.
* **Realistic Classes:**  The `TrackSegment` and `RailwaySwitch` classes now have relevant attributes (temperature, vibration, wear, motor current, switch time, operational status) to simulate real-world railway infrastructure.
* **Simulated Sensor Data:** The `simulateSensorReadings` method now generates *random* sensor data for each track segment and switch, adding noise and gradual degradation (wear). This is essential for a predictive maintenance system.  Crucially, it now *updates* the object's state. This is what makes it a simulation.
* **Threshold-Based "AI":** The `analyzeAndReport` method uses simple threshold values to detect potential failures. This is a very basic form of "AI" but demonstrates the core concept.  A real system would use machine learning models trained on historical data.  The code reports critical warnings based on these thresholds.
* **Logging:**  The `System.out.println` statements provide basic logging of the system's state and any predicted failures.  A real system would use a proper logging framework (e.g., Log4j, SLF4j) to manage log messages.  I've added printing the current state of each object.
* **Simulation Loop:**  The `main` method now includes a simulation loop that runs for a specified number of cycles.  This simulates continuous data collection and analysis. A thread sleep is added to allow for the readings to be examined more clearly.
* **Comments:**  The code is thoroughly commented to explain each step.
* **Failure Simulation:** The simulation now includes the possibility of a switch failing (becoming non-operational).
* **Capping Wear:** The wear value is capped to prevent it from exceeding a logical maximum.
* **Corrected Logic:** Fixed the issue of switch motor current and switch time increasing even when the switch is not operational. Now, if `sw.operational` is false, these values are set to 0.
* **Operational Status:**  Added `operational` status to the RailwaySwitch class to represent whether the switch is functioning correctly.
* **Clearer Output:**  The output is formatted to be more readable and informative.
* **Realistic Ranges:** Values are generated within more realistic ranges.

How to extend this into a more complete project:

1. **Real Sensor Data:**  Replace the simulated sensor data with real data from railway infrastructure. This would likely involve reading data from files, databases, or APIs.
2. **Machine Learning Models:** Implement more sophisticated machine learning models to predict failures.  Examples:
   - **Regression:** Predict remaining useful life (RUL) of a component.
   - **Classification:**  Predict the probability of a specific type of failure.
   - **Time Series Analysis:** Use time series models (e.g., ARIMA, LSTM) to analyze trends in sensor data and predict future values. Libraries like Weka, TensorFlow, or Deeplearning4j could be used.
3. **Data Storage:**  Store the sensor data and model predictions in a database (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
4. **Cloud Integration:**  Deploy the system to a cloud platform (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) for scalability and reliability.
5. **Maintenance Scheduling:**  Integrate the system with a maintenance scheduling system to automatically schedule maintenance tasks based on predicted failures.
6. **Alerting System:** Implement an alerting system that notifies maintenance personnel when a potential failure is detected.  This could involve sending email or SMS messages.
7. **Dashboard:** Create a dashboard to visualize the sensor data, model predictions, and maintenance schedules.

This improved version provides a much more solid foundation for building a real AI-driven predictive maintenance system for railway infrastructure. Remember to adapt the sensor readings and thresholds to the specific characteristics of your target infrastructure.  Good luck!
