Abstract

As the number of gates and basic events in fault trees increases, it becomes difficult to calculate the exact probability of the top event. In order to overcome this difficulty the BDD methodology can be used to calculate the exact top event probability for small and medium size fault trees in short time. Fault trees are converted to BDD by using CUDD library functions and a failure path search algorithm is proposed to calculate the exact top event probability. The backward search algorithm is more efficient than the forward one in finding failure paths and in the calculation of the top event probability. This backward search algorithm can reduce searching time in the identification of disjoint failure paths from BDD and can be considered as an effective tool to find the cut sets and the minimal cut sets for the given fault trees.

사고수목을 이루는 게이트나 기본사상이 많아질수록 정상사상 확률의 정확한 계산이 어려워진다. 이를 극복하기 위해 BDD 방법을 적용하면 중소형 사고수목의 경우 짧은 시간에 근사계산 없이 정확한 값을 구할 수 있다. CUDD 함수를 이용하여 사고수목을 BDD로 변환하고 그로부터 정상사상의 발생확률을 구하는 고장경로 탐색 알고리즘을 고안하였다. 후방탐색 알고리즘은 전방탐색 알고리즘보다 고장경로의 탐색과 확률계산 시간에서 효과적이다. 이 탐색 알고리즘은 BDD에서 고장경로를 찾는데 있어서 탐색시간을 줄일 수 있고, 해당 사고수목의 단절집합과 최소단절집합을 찾는 유용한 방법이다.
