The Features of Assessing Technical Efficiency of the Design Process of Railway Automation Systems
The purpose of the article is to justify the choice of quantitative criteria to assess the effectiveness of the design of railway automation and remote control systems. The article proposes a nomenclature of performance indicators of the design process, allowing predictive assessment of reliability and safety of technical systems in the early stages of the life cycle, as well as the time and cost of the design process, to conduct an objective comparative analysis of various systems of railway automation and telemechanics on the basis of common quantitative criteria The proposed approach allows evaluating the effectiveness of the designed systems with the help of several indicators characterizing the level of their reliability and safety, as well as the level of risks of possible losses associated with the operation of these systems. In turn, the quality of the design process will be evaluated as the probability of achieving the required values of the system at this stage of the life cycle, taking into account material and time costs.
