Abstract
The reliability of metro door is directly related to the safety of passengers. The failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) method based on the weighted least squares model (WLSM) and the fuzzy weighted geometric mean (FWGM) is proposed to evaluate metro door fault criticality. First, WLSM is used to collect individual judgments to form the final aggregated judgment. Then, fuzzy risk priority numbers (FRPNs) are defined as FWGM of the fuzzy ratings for the three risk factors for prioritization of failure modes. Finally, the FRPNs are defuzzified using the centroid defuzzification method. The experiment results show that three failure modes including ‘‘EDCU function is broken,’’ “Limit switch S1wears out,” and “Nut component wears out” have greater damage on door than other failure modes.
