The study deals with the problems connected with evaluation and analysis of transport systems operational quality. The research object is a real, sociotechnical system (of the type H-M-E) whose functional quality is affected by: operators, equipment and technical state of he operated vehicles and the environmental impact. A scheme of an assessment model was built on the basis of a developed concept of a system operational quality and a random process was defined to be used for the analysis. The assessment process involves investigating the variability degree of properties included in the resultant model in a given time and determining whether and to what degree the obtained values meet the requirements of the system appropriate operational quality. On the basis of the above assumptions and in result of experimental tests, four qualitative states of a transport system functioning, which represent intervals of values of the obtained grades in given time moments, were distinguished. The study presents a model of system operation qualitative state changes developed with the use of Markov chain inserted into a certain semi-Markov process. A graph and a matrix for probability of transition between the states were created and boundary distributions of the process were determined on the basis of experimentally obtained data. A system of equations was determined for the distinguished Markov chain, on the basis of which a mathematical model for assessment and control of operational quality of selected types of transport systems will be built.
During an operation phase, a technical system accomplishes goals, which were the reason of the system designing and creation. The main characteristics of a technical system’s ability to accomplish these goals are the amount of the operational potential included in the system and the disposed amount of the potential. These values, expressed in the technical states’ space, depend on the system’s technical state and the definition of the ability and inability subspaces. During the operation and service processes, the technical states of the system changes. Therefore, in these processes, the change of the amount and the disposed amount of the operational potential takes place. In the paper, the changes of the amount and the disposed amount of the operational potential are expressed in the technical states’ space of a system. Additionally, correlations of these changes are analysed. Next, in the space, the operation and service processes are expressed. Therefore, the changes of the amount and the disposed amount of the operational potential, which happened during operation and service processes, could be observed. Based on presented description, the instructions of the efficient maintenance of the complex technical systems were formulated. At the end of the paper, the industrial research is presented. During this research, the operation and service processes of a real industrial system were analysed. As a result of the analysis, the changes of the disposed amount of the operational potential for these processes were calculated. Consequently, the quality of the system operation and servicing was estimated.

This study deals with the problems connected with evaluation of technical systems efficiency of particular transport systems. The main goal of such a system operation is its effective functioning, through rational control of its particular activities and subsequent processes. A literature analysis of the definition of the efficiency term has been made. A real transport system has been accepted to be the research object. The system belongs to the group of sociotechnical systems in which evaluation of its operation efficiency depends on performance of operators, transport means and the impact of environmental factors. Criteria and methods of operation efficiency evaluation have been determined in this study as well as assessment indexes for transport systems. It has been shown that evaluation of a repair efficiency has a large influence on the efficiency of the whole system operation, especially the influence of secondary failure repairs, on the values of particular efficiency indexes. A semi-markov model of operation and maintenance of transport means used in the research object has been developed. This model provides the basis for evaluation of the influence of the processes involved in preparing transport means for service on the system operation efficiency. Moreover, the research also describes how to verify the developed model and present its simulation tests. The study is summarized with conclusions formulated based on the evaluation of the influence of the operation and maintenance processes on the investigated transport system operation efficiency.

This paper presents a model of the operation and maintenance process of the technical objects within the urban transport bus system. All the investigations have been presented on the basis of the selected real operation and maintenance system of the city buses. Basing on the identification of the system under investigation and on the process being realized within it a model of the operation and maintenance process of the city buses was built, assuming that the model of this process is the homogeneous semi-Markov process X(t). For this purpose, crucial states of operation and maintenance process in selected transport system were determined as well as possible transfers between those states. Based on this, an event-based model of the operation and maintenance process of the city buses was built, assuming that its model is the homogenous semi-Markov process. For operation data obtained after research conducted in an authentic transport system, values of unconditional periods of duration of process states, values of stationary distribution included in the Markov chain as well as values of probabilities of limit distribution of the semi-Markov process were determined. Based on this, an analysis of the city buses operation and maintenance process in question was performed. Presented in this article the semi-Markov model operation and maintenance process of city buses is the first stage of the creation of the availability model of the urban transport bus system.

The paper presents a method of selecting technical objects for performance of the tasks received by the controlling subsystem. The investigation object, being the basis to illustrate considerations presented herein, is an operation and maintenance system of an urban bus transport in a selected agglomeration. Transportation of passengers by means of bus transport is performed in the determined quantitative and territorial scope (specified by a schedule of transport task performance). When operating and maintaining buses various events occur, the results of which have an influence on the processes of using and servicing the buses, as well as on their technical condition and economic effect of the work of the system in which they are used. The buses of an urban transport system, during the operation and maintenance process, may be in various maintenance states forming the state space S. It is important, in the aspect of assuring continuity of performance of transport tasks and the technical and economic efficiency achieved by the system, that as many vehicles aspossible are in the state of serviceability and perform the transport tasks during the phase of a working cycle. It is affected by such factors as: the features of the vehicles being operated and maintained, the type of the equipment and number of the service sites of the service station and of the units of technical emergency service, providing the units of technical emergency service with diagnostic apparatuses, the nature of the transport tasks being performed, the method and scope of performance of the s ervice processes and others. So, there is apossibility to have an influence on the system economic efficiency by selecting the buses with the use of the economic criterion.
The object of the investigations is maintenance system of urban transport buses. The subject of the investigations is a determined set of the maintenance states of means of transport and their maintenance processes, as well as the relations occurring between the aforementioned elements, and between them and the maintenance process effectiveness. The paper deals with the selected issues related to modelling, forecasting and controlling the maintenance process of a certain class of technical objects being carried out in a complex maintenance system. Supporting a decision maker in the decisions making process concerning the maintenance system under analysis is to forecast the maintenance system behaviour and evaluate the influence of the selected decision making variants on the course of the maintenance process. The purpose of the work is to present a possibility to use a semi-Markov model of maintenance process of technical objects to preliminarily forecast the state of the maintenance system after changing the values of the model input parameters. Changing the value of the input parameters may simulate an impact of various factors on the system behaviour. The paper presents the assumptions to build a model of the process being performed within the investigation object and the method of analysing it. The values of the model parameters were assessed on the basis of the results of the preliminary test carried out in a real means of transport maintenance system. All the considerations have been illustrated by a computational example. Due to the assumed generalization degree of the description, the method to model and forecast the maintenance process presented herein may be used to other maintenance systems than the urban bus transport system.

In the paper is presented the problem of the exploitation potential of technical objects working in periodical-continuous cycles. The analysis has maken here let to prepare directions of renewal strategy. The each decision depends of overhaul life of objects. Practical use of presented model is realized by estimation of some exploitation indexes. The main index - the operation availability is closely joined with potential and task readiness. The literature and practical analysis let to connect functional and beginning availability with potential availability of objects. The process of investigation and estimation of exploitation indexes is determined by: analysis of failures and their reasons, analysis area assessment of operation and maintenance process, collection and processing of operation informations, decisions of continuation or closing the investigations. The complex renewals are making after determined periods of time. The damages between renewals don't change the failures intensity. After profilactic services objects must presented complete operation availability. During exploitation and renewal processes the costs of each operation should be closed considered. The optimal renewal strategy needs minimum of costs. Several standard references on quality management suggest considering costs under three headings, so that they can be identified, measured and controlled. These quality costs are the costs of all activities specifically directed at reliability and quality control, and the cost of failure. Quality costs are usually considered in three categories: prevention costs, appraisal costs, failure costs. Prevention costs include reliability efforts, quality control and management. Appraisal costs are those related to then process control and measurement. Filure costs are the global costs of unreliability obviously it is necessary to minimize the sum of quality and reliability costs over a suitably long period. Therefore the immediate costs of prevention and appraisal must be related to the anticipated effects on failure costs, which must be affected over several years.

The paper consists of considerations connected with selected problems of modelling, evaluating and analysing of the availability of chosen complex socio-technical systems. Within aforementioned systems, the technical objects maintenance process takes its place, and the process is unique because of the fact of serial changing maintenance stages. The maintenance system of urban public transport buses is investigated. Its main aim is the execution of the public transport among the city boundaries and in the suburban area. Tasks assigned to the transport system are carried out by one of its subsystems - the executive one, the object of investigations in the paper. The executive subsystem is the assembly of the force (working) and the reserve ones, and next, they consist of elementary subsystems, i.e. human - machine ones. To let the transport system execute its tasks safely and on schedule, it should be described with the appropriate value level of the operational availability, dependent on value level of the potential availability and the reliability of elementary subsystems. To describe the executive subsystem operational availability, the ideas of task availability and potential availability were used. The potential availability value level depends on functional availability and initial availability levels. The paper shows general assumptions for the operational availability model assembly created for the object of investigation, and next, the way the operational availability value level can be found within serial changing maintenance stages.
