Method for exchanging a component in a passenger transport system and device to be used in said method

A method for exchanging a component in a passenger transport system, wherein a digital double dataset representative of the passenger transport system is digitally stored in a computer system or on a machine-readable medium and can be processed by a computer system, wherein said digital double dataset comprises data concerning physical properties of the passenger transport system, the method comprising:

• physically exchanging the component by removing an existing component from the passenger transport system and replacing the existing component with a replacement component;
• wherein component data concerning physical properties of the component is exchanged in an at least partially automated manner by replacing component data concerning physical properties of the existing component with component data concerning physical properties of the replacement component in the digital double dataset,
• wherein the digital double dataset comprises a plurality of component dataset modules, wherein each of these component dataset modules respectively describes component data concerning physical properties of one of the components in the passenger transport system, wherein the physical properties described in the component data take into account the respective degree of wear of the existing component, which degree of wear can be determined by sensors integrated into the passenger transport system, wherein an entire component dataset module is respectively replaced in the digital double dataset during an exchange of component data, and wherein the simulations can be respectively broken down to the individual component or its component dataset module by a current analysis of the digital double dataset, as well as due to the aforementioned structuring of the digital double dataset by means of component dataset modules, and the failing physical component can thereby be directly identified.
