Abstract

The paper presents the heuristic approach to availability analysis of optical communication networks connecting ship´s systems. The availabilities of individual components have been calculated, as the basis for the entire system availability evaluation. Several network availability structures and protection scenarios are presented and the availability evaluated. Based on the analysis, the possibility for improving ship´s communication system availability has been proposed, contributing to the overall availability improvement of ship´s systems.
