The catenary is a vital component of the electrified railway system. It consists of many parts which are interrelated; the maintenance schedule of the catenary system should consider the influence of the interrelationship. In this study, a preventive, opportunistic maintenance method is proposed to schedule the maintenance process of the catenary system. First, the reliability of the key parts of the catenary is modeled using Weibull distribution. Second, a reliability margin is proposed to expand the maintenance time from point to interval, and the reliability margin is optimized to minimize the maintenance cost. Then, a preventive opportunistic maintenance schedule can be arranged on the basis of the optimal reliability margin. Case study results verify that the proposed preventive opportunistic maintenance method can reduce the number of maintenance schedules and can effectively save the maintenance cost.
