Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) system is a critical signal system to ensure rail transit’s safe operation. Compared with the train-ground CBTC system, the train control system based on train-to-train (T2T) communication has the advantages of fast response speed, simple structure, and low operating cost. As the core part of the train control system based on T2T communication, the reliability of the data communication system (DCS) is of great significance to ensure the train’s safe and efficient operation. According to the T2T communication system requirements, this paper adopts Long-Term Evolution-Unlicensed (LTE-U) technology to design the DCS structure and establishes the reliability model of the communication system based on Deterministic and Stochastic Petri Nets (DSPN). Based on testing the real line’s communication performance parameters, the DSPN model is simulated and solved by π -tool, and the reliability index of the system is obtained. The research results show that the LTE-U-based T2T communication system designed in this paper meets the train control system’s needs for communication transmission. This paper’s reliability evaluation method can complete the reliability modeling of train control DCS based on T2T communication. The research in this paper will provide a strong practical and theoretical basis for the design and optimization of train control DCS based on T2T communication.

The reliability and availability of the onboard high-speed train control system are important to guarantee operational efficiency and railway safety. Failures occurring in the onboard system may result in serious accidents. In the analysis of the effects of failure, it is significant to consider the operation of an onboard system. This article presents a systemic approach to evaluate the reliability and availability for the onboard system based on dynamic Bayesian network, with taking into account dynamic failure behaviors, imperfect coverage factors, and temporal effects in the operational phase. The case studies are presented and compared for onboard systems with different redundant strategies, that is, the triple modular redundancy, hot spare double dual, and cold spare double dual. Dynamic fault trees of the three kinds of onboard system are constructed and mapped into dynamic Bayesian networks. The forward and backward inferences are conducted not only to evaluate the reliability and availability but also to recognize the vulnerabilities of the onboard systems. A sensitivity analysis is carried out for evaluating the effects of failure rates subject to uncertainties. To improve the reliability and availability, the recovery mechanism should be paid more attention. Finally, the proposed approach is validated with the field data from one railway bureau in China and some industrial impacts are provided.
