摘要: |
Metropolitan planning organizations in the intermodal transportation business depend on many types of support equipment to effectively operate intermodal terminals. The acquisition, productive use and retirement of such equipment require the consideration of the reliability and maintainability (R&M) characteristics of the equipment. Through an industrial survey and literature review, we explore the types of support equipment used in intermodal terminals and the R&M characteristics of such equipment. We use the concept of a performability index (which has previously been applied only to manufacturing systems) to determine the robustness of a transportation system where support equipment is subject to failure and repair. We then use this knowledge to model an intermodal facility and characterize the loss in system performance caused by equipment breakdowns. |
