An Exploratory Study on Road Traffic Safety Based on Fault-Tolerant Concept

Abstract

Base on researching the source and development of fault tolerance theory, this paper discusses the working mechanism of fault tolerance, and illustrates the workflow and dependability of fault tolerance. So there is a widespread belief that this is feasible that fault tolerance theory is used in the traffic safety study. Through summarizing the progress of the fault-tolerant study in road traffic field at home and abroad, the paper gets some enlightenment from these literatures, finally gives the prospect of fault-tolerant theory which is used in the road traffic safety research.
