Abstract

This paper describes how we adopted RAMS [1] [2] for railway signalling system management. We wanted to use this standard to railway signalling system to improve performance, maintenance and reduce failures. We evaluate railway signaling system by a parameter, and the parameter that shows the customer impact level from a railway signalling equipment system down is selected for evaluating reliability and the risks are analyzed. Then certain problems became clear and countermeasures examined, some of which were improved.
