CRITERIA AS REGARDS THE EFFICIENCY OF THE AUTOMATIC BLOCK SYSTEM IN TERMS OF RELIABILITY

KRITERII EFFEKTIVNOSTI FUNKCIONIROVANIJA AVTOBLOKIROVKI S UCETOM EE MADEZNOSTI

The article establishes the mathematical correlation between the criteria and the degree of reliability. These criteria fix the optimum degree of reliability and when it is necessary to overhaul the automatic block system taking into account, on the one hand, the minimum amount that damage due to the failure of the block to function reliably would cost and, on the other hand, the minimum cost of producing and operating this system. The method considered can also be used for determining the operational efficiency of: centralized traffic control and electricity supplies, and automatic shunting equipment.
