Abstract

This paper presents an application of Monte Carlo Simulation method for reliability evaluation of the railway overhead contact line system by establishing a repairable system model with four components placed in series. Weibull distribution is adopted to characterize the failure rate of system component. Multinomial distribution is adopted to characterize the occurrence probability of different failure mode of system component. The parameters of probability distribution are obtained from failure data collected in the maintenance of actual overhead contact line system. The system reliability indices are calculated by Monte Carlo simulation method. The simulation result is acceptable compared to the result obtained from Markov analysis method.
