Abstract

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Event Tree Analysis (ETA) are by far the most frequently used qualitative and quantitative approaches in system reliability and safety analysis such as in the railway domain. FTA and ETA explain the causalities and consequences of hazards or accidents (e.g., rail traffic accidents) in terms of linear event sequences, which are difficult to incorporate none-linear relationships such as feedback. For quantitative analysis, FTA and ETA have disadvantages in dealing with dependent failure events. The quality assurance for fault trees and events trees is mainly carried out by peer review. In addition, traditional FTA and ETA are usually applied to systems that consists of non-repairable components. For systems that comprise repairable components, Markov models are widely used, which suffer however intensively from the state space explosion.
