Abstract
This study is to identify and analyze the critical effects and risk priorities (quantitatively and qualitatively) in the reliability of a public transportation system. The failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) technique is applied which is involved with an iterative process of a dependability assessment named reliability-centered maintenance (RCM). The diesel engine bus system of Taipei City is selected as a case in the present study. By FMEA report, the operational reliability of the overall bus system can be evaluated as references for Bus Administration Authority in purchasing a new system, evaluating actual serviceability and making parts or subsystem renewal decisions as well as enhancing maintenance quality performance and public transportation safety.
