Abstract

Service dependability has been recognized in the transportation literature as an effective measure of transit systems quality. Dependability models link this measure of service quality with reliability, availability and maintainability characteristics of the subsystems operating in the transport system. The purpose of this paper is to present a dependability model for the analysis of the impact of power electronics reliability on the service dependability in the case of a vehicle for high speed railway applications
