Modelling Environment And Infrastructure Influence on Reliability and Operation Processes of Port Transportation Systems

Abstract

In the paper a probabilistic model of industrial systems environment and infrastructure influence on their operation processes is proposed. Semi-markov processes are used to construct a general model of complex industrial systems' operation processes. Main characteristics of this model are determined as well. In particular case, for a port grain transportation system, its operation states are defined, the relationships between them are fixed and particular model of its operation process is constructed and its main characteristics are determined. The joint model of the system operation process and the system reliability is constructed and applied to the reliability evaluation of port grain transportation system. © 2008, Versita.
