Railway Equipment Reliability Test Based on Weibull Distribution

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a new approach for reliability test sampling plan of Railway equipment. Based on the interval censored failure data, the mean rank order method is used for data pre-process and the least square method is used for fitting the parameters of Weibull distribution, where, the best estimations of distribution parameters are derived. The sampling inspection plan for interval censored data is established when the lifetime follows the Weibull distribution. In the case study, we applied the proposed method to design the reliability test sampling plan of an electric multiple units.
