Train control system of high speed railway is the core equipment and technology to ensure the safe and reliable operation of high-speed trains, so reliability assessment of train control system counts for much. In this paper, firstly, Bayesian Networks (BN) technology is introduced for the limitation of traditional fault tree analysis (FTA) method. Secondly, reliability model of CTCS-3 train control system is established by BN transformed from the fault tree (FT) of CTCS-3. Finally, reliability of CTCS-3 and its redundant configuration is assessed by BN's advantage of expressing uncertainty knowledge and its bidirectional reasoning ability. It is not only convenient to identify the failure combination mode leading to the failure of the train control system, but also be able to find out the weak links in CTCS-3 system. Through the case analysis, BN shows great superiority in reliability assessment of system compared with FTA. What is more, it provides a new foundation for reliability assessment of train control system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
