Reliability Assessment Based on GO Method of Metro Traction System

In order to improve the reliability of the metro traction system (MTS), the whole life cycle of metro vehicles can be operated safely and reliably. A reliability assessment method based on the GO method of the MTS is proposed. In this paper, the reliability assessment is completed without operation...
