Abstract
The investigation purpose is to develop a method for the assessment of reliability values of dc drive motors for tram cars the life of which approaches its completion which will allow correcting the maintenance and repair system in order to decrease the number of sudden failures and hence the number of unscheduled repair operations. According to the available rolling-stock (trams) repair statistics, a considerable part of unscheduled repair works is determined by failures of dc drive motors. 
 Reasoning from the investigation purpose one of the problems consists in the development of the simulator allowing the accurate definition of quantitative characteristics of reliability during the operation. The operation reliability of dc drive motors of tram-cars is affected considerably by the interaction of design structure elements and it raises a question of combined structural-functional patterns use during the formation of a compositional simulator for reliability estimate. 
 The results obtained show that the account of structural-functional ties of dc drive motors design elements in tram-cars during the simulator formation for reliability assessment allows obtaining more correct data for the definition of maintenance terms and repair works.
 In such a way, the compositional model for reliability assessment of dc drive motors installed in tram-cars allows obtaining more exact dependences of their trouble-free operation probability that gives an opportunity to correct terms for scheduled-preventive repair, so that to decrease the number of sudden failures becoming more often, as it is seen in practice, at the approach of tram-car operation completion and decrease the number of unscheduled repair works.
 The model offered for reliability assessment is urgent for the term correction of maintenance and repair works of tram-car dc drive motors the life of which comes to the completion and also for motors which run out of power.
