Abstract

The failure modes and fault tree analysis techniques as used on spacecraft have been applied to a transport system study. A general approach to systems reliability has evolved and been applied to other systems. Based on an analysis of systems functional modes, the system level effects of component deviation from nominal are derived. A grouped tree analysis of these events facilitates the allocation of probabalistic reliability requirements and provides good visibility when fail-safe or similar conditions apply. The approach is not limited to hardware. Computer programs and other software can also be analysed and risks defined and minimised.
