Digraph를 이용한 Fault Tree 자동합성시스템의 개발

Development of Automatic Fault Tree Construction System using Digraph

FTA(Fault Tree Analysis) is a safety analysis method that focuses on one particular accident or main system failure and provides a method of determining causes of that event. While most of the statistical and cut set analysis have been automated, actual construction of the fault-tree is usually done manually. Manual construction of the fault-tree is extremely time consuming and it requires high level of expertise and experience. In addition to the time involved, different analyst often produces different fault-trees either by incorrect logic or omission of certain events. Automatic fault-tree construction system can be efficient in solving above problems. This study presents a new Digraph-FT conversion algorithm that leads automatic FTA system.
