Motorway toll collection systems operate under diverse conditions where their proper functioning is conditioned, among other things, by the reliability of individual electromechanical components. Any downtime associated with a system failure results in losses in the form of increased travel time costs, along with social costs of environmental pollution. The article presents the structure of a method for assessing the operational reliability of a motorway toll collection system, along with its analysis in terms of the system’s operation process, taking into account the reliability of its components.Such an analysis makes it possible to find answers to the question of whether a given system meets the reliability and availability requirements specified in standards and regulatory provisions, and how to define its operational strategy.
Analysis of operational reliability evaluation of the motorway toll collection system
Abstract
Motorway toll collection systems work in different operating conditions where their proper functioning is conditioned, among others reliability of various electromechanical components. Any downtime associated with failures in the operation of the system causes a loss in the form of increased costs of travel time, along with the social costs of pollution. The article presents the structure of operational reliability assessment methods motorway toll system and its analysis in terms of process, operation of the system including the reliability of its components. This analysis allows to find answers to the question whether a system meets the requirements for reliability and availability specified in standards and regulatory rules and how to define a strategy for its operations.
