Abstract
To solve the reliability allocation problem of multi-function integrated transmission system, an improved AGREE allocation method is presented in this paper. Firstly, the reliability index of each function of an integrated transmission system is allocated to its subsystems based on the AGREE method. Then the reliability index allocated to the subsystems is adjusted considering that some subsystems may be included in multiple functions. Then, the reliability index of those non-reused subsystems in different functions is reallocated based on the improved AGREE method. Finally, reliability index of an integrated transmission system considering three functions: straight running, swerve and braking is allocated based on this proposed method, and the allocation results meet the function reliability requirements of the integrated transmission device. The application result shows that the improved AGREE method is feasible for the reliability allocation of a multi-function integrated transmission system and provides a guidance for reliability allocation of such an integrated transmission system and other similar multi-function systems.
