Abstract

Railway telecommunications are inherent facilities participating in the organization of efficient and safe transport process. Generally, reliable operation of telecommunication devices is provided by the implementation of preventive maintenance that quality analysis is performed on the incidents during the latest reporting period. The possibility of experimental estimation using computer techniques surely has advantages. In the paper, we have defined an objective of the development of a simulation model of the operation process of railway telecommunications so as to assess the inherent availability and maintenance quality indicator. The model allows carrying out a computer experiment and estimation of the abovementioned measures in an automated way taking into account the following input parameters: failure rates, periodicity and length of maintenance, time of repair, the probability of erroneous actions of service staff and the probability of spare and replacement parts lack.
