  • Abstract
    In conventional fault tree analysis (FTA), some complex and uncertain events such as human errors cannot be handled effectively. Fuzzy fault tree analysis (fuzzy FTA) integrating fuzzy set evaluation and probabilistic estimation is proposed to evaluate vague events. The reliability of water supply subsystem in fire protection systems is analyzed using the proposed approach and the results prove the validity of the fuzzy FTA.
