  • Published : 2004.07.01

Abstract

In this paper, to assess and enhance the reliability of Korea High Speed Train, electric traction system is selected and reliability analysis is carried out. The electric traction system is classified into subsystems and the functional block diagram and the reliability block diagram are drawn. Expressions to calculate the reliability are deduced and Mean Kilometer Between Service Failure is calculated using the trial test results on the track. Calculated results show reliability growth of the electric traction system.
