Reliability Analysis of Technical Means of Transport
Source abstract
Abstract
The importance of system reliability within military logistics should be considered in terms of the ability to ensure the readiness of all available resources, e.g., means of transport, which are necessary during the realization of operational tasks. A special role is played by technical security, which enables the performance of all the specific tasks by the realization of the process supporting the subsystem in the area of providing the necessary assemblies, subassemblies and spare parts. The objective of the work was to define reliability in relation to technical means of transport and to illustrate an original solution leading to the determination of the expected fitness time of the available vehicle fleet, using the example of a selected military unit. The GNU Octave software—designed to conduct, among other things, advanced numerical computations—was used for the study. The daily operational mileage for a selected group of means of transport and the moments of failures were recorded during the tests, for the period from 31 December 2013 until 30 June 2015. The conducted analysis enabled the determination of the fundamental reliability indicators. The presented model has been supported with numerical examples, along with the interpretation of the obtained results.
