Abstract

The performance of a repairable bridge network system is improved by using the availability equivalence factors. All components for the bridge system have constant failure and repair rates. The system is improved through the use of five methods: reduction, increase, hot duplication, warm duplication, and cold duplication methods. The availability of the original and improved systems is derived. Two types of availability equivalence factors of the system are obtained to compare different system designs. Numerical example to interpret how to utilize the obtained results is provided.
