RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF A COMPUTERIZED TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM

VARIOUS BOUNDS ARE OBTAINED ON THE RELIABILITY FUNCTION OF A PROPOSED URBAN TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM. THESE BOUNDS ARE THE CRUDE SERIES-PARALLEL BOUNDS, THE MIN-PATH MIN-CUT BOUNDS, AND BOUNDS GIVEN BY AN EXPONENTIAL SURVIVAL FUNCTION. IT IS POINTED OUT THAT THESE BOUNDS ARE VALID FOR A GENERAL CLASS OF FAILURE DISTRIBTUIONS FOR THE COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM, AS WELL AS THE SITUATION WHEREIN COMPONENT INTERDEPENDENCIES MAY EXIST. THE USE OF THESE BONDS IN CHOOSING COMPETING SYSTEMS IS POINTED OUT. /AUTHOR/
