SAFETY EVALUATION OF MASS TRANSIT SYSTEMS BY RELIABILITY ANALYSIS

A problem-independent concept for the reliability analysis of complex systems is presented. A method of system reliability analysis which is based on a selection of generally applicable mathematical models and computer programs for efficient numerical evaluation of the models emerges from this concept, general safety model based on the same reliability analysis techniques and procedures is presented. A case study shows the application of the safety models and the methods of reliability analysis.
