An Approach for Determination of the Structural Reliability of Information and Control Systems

The contemporary systems for monitoring and management of remote technical objects in transport and energy sectors are very complex systems whose purpose is centralized data acquisition of dispersed geographical sites, information processing and generation of managerial impacts. The main criteria for the efficiency while synthesizing systems for monitoring and control on complex technical objects are the system's performance, its reliability and cost. This article proposes an approach that can be used in the stage of synthesis of the structure of such systems. Special attention is paid to the realization when selecting technical and control devices, which satisfy any technical requirements according to necessary high reliability. The main indices of reliability assessment are systematized, which allows a quick and accurate determination of the structure of complex technical systems in their design.
