The author considers two approaches to solving the problem of increasing the reliability of machine-building products: on the spot, at the enterprises that operate transport vehicles, via certain modifications of serial products, and at manufacturing sites, during production of subsequent products, via improving the design on the basis of operation data of the analogues. In this case, data collection and processing system should provide reliable data on failures and cases of non-serviceable condition of the machines operating under different conditions; prompt processing of statistical data and presentation of results in the most convenient form; registration and coordination of reliability improvement measures taken by developers, manufacturers and operators. The author analyzes the operation of distribution laws of random variables and the variety of their corresponding calculation systems for the determination of the product's reliability indices in an element-by-element, unit-wise, as well as synthesized form. This approach makes it possible to search for the least reliable elements of a system in order to align the machine's reliability indices. Purpose. Creation of a design system for determining reliability indices in a separate form at the levels of parts, units and for the machine as a whole for identifying its least reliable components for the purpose of their further improvement. Methods. The methodology is based on drawing up a structural chart of machine reliability and a consolidated list of failures that are identified during its operation. The reliability structural scheme includes all the machine elements. A summary cumulative list is compiled further, where data on the operating time of each object are recorded for each failure type. The data samples on the times to failure of a group of homogeneous components are output from the summary cumulative list per each element. Results. The methodology makes it possible to create a system with multiple ratios of reliability indices per components, as well as reduce expenses for service impacts and improve the effectiveness of their transportation work. The present research work contributes to the theory of predicting the reliability of mechanical systems, making it possible to solve important tasks at modernization and design stages.
