In order to build a model to predict accidents in a complicated man-machine sytem, human errors and mechanical reliability can be viewed as the most important factors. Such factors are explicitly included in a generic model. Another point to keep in mind is that the model should be constructed so that the data in a type of accident can be utilized to predict other types of accidents. Based on such a generic prediction model, we analyze the effects of system reliability. When we improve the system reliability, in other words, when there are changes in model parameters, the predicted time to next accidents should be modified influencing the effects of system reliability improvements. We apply Bayesian approach and finds the formula to explain how a change on the machine reliability or human error probability influences the time to next accident.

Engineering asset management (EAM) requires the accurate assessment of current and the prediction of future asset health condition. Suitable mathematical models that are capable of predicting time-to-failure and the probability of failure in future time are essential. In general reliability models, lifetime of component and system is estimated using failure time data. This paper deals with the reliability assessment of elevators using life of main components. Especially this work is concerned with the stochastic nature of life of elevator components. First, we investigate the Weibull statistical analysis of lifetime data for the components. The final goal is to establish the mathematical model for reliability assessment. This work provides more perspectives to future research in the fields of reliability and maintainability.

Software reliability prediction is a statistical method to put in place a timely software development practice useful for objective assessment of bidders. The current study suggests one research method that enables reliability assessment of such previous projects by studying user satisfaction and project management history. If incorporated into the existing acquisition process, the reliability assessment method will further enhance objectivity and accuracy in bidder selection process. The GQM(Goal Question Metric) paradigm was used to identify assessment metrics for bidder evaluation and questionnaires were collected from users to create user satisfaction indexes. In addition, 'weight of evidence', the most appropriate categorical method, was used to isolate attributes of each variable that may contribute to reliability assessment.

The door system for railway vehicles is the critical device directly influences on safety and satisfaction of passengers, Recently, electrical type of passenger door system is widely used for EMU type train instead of pneumatic type of passenger door system. The estimation of MTBF and failure rates for electrical type door system is essential. The manufacturor simply provides intrinsic reliability data for the railway operator. But actual reliability data based on operation and maintenance data is not complying with intrinsic reliability. In this study, operation and failure data associated with electrical door system were analyzed in order to determine actual MTBF and failure data. Intrinsic reliability data and service reliability data were studied to finallize much more practical and reliable actual reliability. Relax 2011 was used to predict intrinsic reliability and 217Plus model was also used to estimate of actual reliability data based on field data. Furthermore, it is necessary to keep studying on reliability prediction methodology and applying it in the field and doing research on improvement of reliability through feedback as well.

Because of financial and safety concerns, there are needs for more accurate prediction of bridge behavior. Underestimation of the bridge load carrying capacity can have serious economic consequences, as deficient bridges must be repaired or rehabilitated. Therefore, the knowledge of the actual bridge behavior under live load may lead to a more realistic calculation of the load carrying capacity and eventually this may allow for more bridges to remain in service with or without minor repairs. The presented research is focused on the reliability evaluation of the actual load carrying capacity of existing bridges based on the field testing. Seventeen existing bridges were tested under truck load to confirm their adequacy of reliability. The actual response of existing bridge structures under live load is measured. Reliability analysis is performed on the selected representative bridges designed in accordance with AASHTO codes for bridge component (girder). Bridges are first evaluated based on the code specified values and design resistance. However, after the field testing program, it is possible to apply the experimental results into the bridge reliability evaluation procedures. Therefore, the actual response of bridge structures, including unintentional composite action, partial fixity of supports, and contribution of nonstructural members are considered in the bridge reliability evaluation. The girder distribution factors obtained from the tests are also applied in the reliability calculation. The results indicate that the reliability indices of selected bridges can be significantly increased by reducing uncertainties without sacrificing the safety of structures, by including the result of field measurement data into calculation.

본 논문은 뉴로-퍼지 모델의 구조 학습을 이용하여 단기 전력 수요 예측시스템을 개발하기 위한 체계적인 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 단기 수요 예측시스템은 1시간, 24시간, 168시간의 예측 리드 타임을 갖고 예측을 수행하기 위해서 요일 유형과 시간 별로 총 96개의 초기 구조를 미리 생성하고, 이를 초기 구조 뱅크에 저장한다. 예측이 수행되는 시점에 해당하는 초기구조를 선택하여 뉴로-퍼지 모델을 초기화하고, 학습하고, 예측을 수행한다. 제안된 예측시스템은 단지 2개의 입력 변수만을 이용하기 때문에 간단한 모델 구조를 가질 뿐 아니라 학습된 퍼지 규칙을 해석하는 것이 매우 용이하다는 장점을 갖는다. 제안된 방법의 실효성을 검증하기 위해 1996년과 1997년의 한극전력의 실제 전력 수요 데이터를 이용하여 1시간, 24시간, 168시간 앞의 전력 수요를 예측하는 모의 실험을 수행한다. 실험 결과 제안된 방법은 단지 2개의 입력 변수를 사용함에도 불구하고, 기존의 예측 방법과 비교하여 예측의 정확도와 신뢰도 측면에서 우수한 성능을 얻는다.

인과 관계에 대한 직관적인 개념으로 Bayesian Networks 알고리즘이나 트리 구조 추측 알고리즘 그리고 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하여 다양한 구조의 상황을 예측을 하게 된다. 하지만 이런 예측 알고리즘들을 상황인지 서비스 구현에 적용하기에는 실제 구현의 어려움과 실시간 환경에서 트레이닝 데이터 처리에서 오는 시간 지연 문제 등이 발생하게 된다. 이 때문에 특정 목적의 상황인지 시스템에서 이 알고리즘들이 어느 정도의 예측 정확도와 신뢰도를 가지고 상황 정보에 부합하는지 미지수이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 예측 알고리즘과는 다른 접근 방식을 통해, 사용자의 습관이나 행동양식을 데이터베이스로 만들어 이를 고려함으로써 상황인지 시스템의 상황 정보와 부합되는 Flexible Window 기법을 이용한 위치 예측 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 Flexible Window 기법을 이용한 위치 예측 알고리즘은 동일한 실험 조건 아래, Fixed Window 기법을 이용한 위치 예측 알고리즘보다 평균적으로 5.10% 더 우수한 성능을 보인다. 이 방식은 기하급수적으로 늘어나는 상황 정보를 감안했을 때 알고리즘 수행 시 처리 시간의 감소와 예측 정확도를 향상 시킬 수 있다.
