Original Abstract

The article deals with selected problems, which are associated with reliability and safety assurance in the case of electromechanical systems of rail vehicles. The article describes an integrated RAMS program which was worked out and established for development and design to fulfil demanding reliability, availability, maintainability and safety requirements of customers. The main methods, which are used as parts of the Program, are Preliminary Hazard analysis, FMECA, Fault Tree Analysis and Reliability Diagram Analysis. The methods are used in individual steps that logically connect methods each to other. The article describes the procedures of the program in detail and brings a survey of applied methods with characterisations. Particular attention is devoted to problems that are associated with estimation of reliability measures of individual parts of systems.
