An existing line operated on ERTMS is taken as case study from Bane NOR for developing a reliability model. Due to its complexity, determining the failures and resolving them is challenging. In this context, Bane Nor (Norwegian National Rail Administration) is planning to convert the entire conventional signalling system to ERTMS signaling system, as a part of their ERTMS National Implementation project.ĮRTMS/ETCS is a complex infrastructure of various systems on trackside, lineside and train onboard and these systems have different sub systems comprising of software, hardware, network and signalling components. The foremost quality of such transportation system is to operate in a reliable manner and maintain punctuality. Currently, this has been used more extensively for transportation by commuters and for freight. The European railway industry is continuously advancing and in recent years, they have adopted a new system called European Railway Traffic Management System/ European Train Control System (ERTMS/ETCS) for the interoperability of railways among different European nations.

Plus, ExtendSim allowed over 10,000 simulation runs to be completed in a short amount of time. An optimized architecture of a siphon system was modeled providing accurate results of the system's component reliability, the mean time to failure, and the operational reliability of both non-repairable and repairable systems. The ExtendSim Reliability module simplified the modeling of the maintenance process for this complex system. Therefore, it is significant to understand the operational reliability of the siphon within the life cycle. As most of the components are exposed to the natural environment, they face hazards from potential unknown factors (such as short circuits, animal and insect bites, and chemical corrosion, etc.) which could cause the malfunction of the siphon components. Either scenario could threaten the safety of human life and property and/or damage the ecological environment. If any component of the siphon system fails to perform its function, it can lead to the discharge of water from the water storage units potentially causing a lack of abundant storage capacity for flood mitigation or insufficient water volume to maintain the aquatic life. Siphon flow can only start or stop when all the components work in a certain sequence. Maintenance reliability professionals, asset managers, and predictive maintenance teams are turning to simulating RBDs in ExtendSim to help manage their asset reliability program, reduce rate failures, optimize alternate flow paths, deal with intermediate product storage, and improve the reliability of plant assets.

The Reliability module in ExtendSim Pro is the missing link bridging reliability block diagrams with the pinpoint accuracy of simulation to mimic the behavior of systems using dynamic reliability modeling. How does the reset of one component affect the whole system? How can you identify potential failures? How can you accurately predict and manage the risks around assets that could fail and cause unnecessary and expensive downtime? How can you resolve uncertainty in multi-stage manufacturing systems? It’s critical to take into account the relationship between components. System performance analysis often demands more than traditional reliability block diagramming (RBD) tools can juggle.
