Study on the maintenance period allocation method for railway signal equipment

철도신호설비 유지보수주기 할당에 관한 연구

Railway signal system has been more complex, larger and required high reliability. So, maintenance by experience must be changed to optimize maintenance program or introduced systematic method for estabilish new maintenance program. In this paper, we introduced the maintenance period decision method which are Age based method and Block replacement method based on the failure distribution for the equipment. So, we allocated optimum maintenacne period for the railway signal equipment using block replacement method.
