Electric Multiple Unit Bogie Maintainability Allocation with Interval Analysis and Fuzzy Evaluation Method

Based on the failure rate and design features allocation method,considering the multiple influential factors which affect electric multiple unit（ EMU） bogies,maintainability allocation on EMU bogie was presented by interval analytic hierarchy analysis and fuzzy comprehensive assessment. The maintainability allocation model was established. Weight based on the influence degree of each factor on maintenance was assigned. Fuzzy interval numbers were used to substitute real numbers and express uncertain information.The maintenance weighting factors for each subsystem were calculated by fuzzy comprehensive assessment. Then the allocation method was applied to EMU bogie. The results show that the method is feasible. The problem difficult to quantify for EMU bogie maintenance allocation is solved effectively.
