Fault recovery analysis for monorail solutions (system approach)

August 2018 | Stefano Vagnini, Diego Gerbasio

A lack on the electric traction is usually considered “safe status” affecting only the service availability of a transportation system. Instead, in a monorail system, “a vehicle stop” between two stations generates a safety-related hazard leading to a complex emergency evacuation and/or rescue situation. An integrated system approach carried out by RAMS methodology, has been part of this analysis allowing to propose solutions to reach a high grade of safety and availability for a mono rail system...
