철도차량 접촉기의 신뢰성 분석 및 교환주기 결정에 대한 연구

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the replacement cycle applied age replacement policy by reliability analysis based on railway vehicle contactor’s failure history data.Method: We performed reliability analysis based on railway vehicle contactor’s failure history data. We found a suitable distribution by goodness of fit test and predicted the reliability through estimation of scale & shape parameter. Considering cost information we determined the replacement cycle that minimize the opportunity cost.Result: Suitable distribution was the Weibull and scale parameter & shape parameter are estimated by reliability analysis. The replacement cycle was predicted and MTTF, percentile life were suggested additionally.Conclusion: We confirmed that failure rate type of railway vehicle contactor is degradation model having a time dependent characteristic and examined the replacement cycle in our country’s operating environment. We expect that this study result contribute to railway operation agency for maintenance policy decision.
