STATEMET OF THE PROBLEM A vehcle flee s usually a heerogeeous se comprsg vehcles of dffere srucure ad age. Vehcles of he same srucure ad age form homogeeous subses whch ca be called cosruco-operao groups or CO groups. Ofe a CO group comprses a small umber of vehcles. A heerogeeous vehcle flee havg more ha j oe CO group would have veory vehcles he j-h CO group. Our cosderao ca be cofed o oly oe CO group sce he procedure ca be repeaed for each CO group separaely. So hereafer de j wll be omed. Each CO group of vehcles has rasporao ass o fulfll a gve me perod he ass beg defed by he EWP.

Due o hese falures a vehcle from he sad-by flee mus be moblzed o coue he as. Ofe hese falures requre a ow vehcle o be moblzed as well. The mome he vehcles are roduced o operao s mpora o ow he regulary of appearace of varous ds of falures ad he dyamcs of her elmao.

SOLUTIO OF THE PROBLEM I order o solve he problem he esseal queso o be aswered s he followg: how o oba codos of uceray he dsrbuo of he umber of falures per u me erval. U me ervals called sequeces are oos assocaed o sequeal plag ad record eepg.

I order o have compable dsrbuos [ 4 9] hs case a gamma dsrbuo s chose: * Γ 0 < < A he begg of he Bayesa reame of uceray.e. a he begg of he frs sequece he a pror values of parameers ad he gamma dsrbuo mus be deermed. Ths s doe eher o he bass of avalable paral formao or subjecvely whe daa abou he falure rae do o es [4 7]. Due o he addvy of he gamma dsrbuo he whole se of vehcles.e. he whole CO group s characerzed by falure rae whch s reaed as a radom varable wh a gamma dsrbuo: Γ 2 Ths dsrbuo he a pror dsrbuo s characerzed by he desy fuco: e f Γ > 0 The margal dsrbuo of he umber of falures he whole group of vehcles durg he frs sequece u me erval deoed by ca be obaed from he followg equao: 3 P P 0 Γ!

8 84 V. Pap} J. Popov} /Vehcle Flee Maageme: A Bayesa Approach Thus from 9 follows ha he dsrbuo s aga a egave bomal dsrbuo:.b. 0 The epeced umber of falures ad he correspodg varace respecvely are gve by: E ad 2 V The se of falures for whch he former calculaos were performed was he se comprsg all falures: "umpora" falures ype A "delay provog" falures ype B ad "crcal" falures ype C. ow calculaos wll be performed frs for he subse comprsg oly B ad C falures he uo of subses B ad C ad he for he subse comprsg oly C falures. Le us loo for he dsrbuo of he umber of falures of ype B or C. These are falures whch ule hose of ype A do fluece he fulfllme of he ass. I order o do hs we wll modfy equao 0 usg a suable heorem []. If he probably ha he falure s of ype A s deoed by p he he probably ha s of ype B or C s p q. Afer sequeces whch he umber of falures was regsered he umber of falures durg he sequece has a egave bomal dsrbuo 0 wh parameers ad he umber of falures of ype B or C gve by:. Accordg o he heorem [] follows ha Y also has a egave bomal dsrbuo Y.B. q 2 We shall ow proceed o calculaos for he subse comprsg C falures aloe. Falures of ype C are a subse of he se of all falures. These "crcal" falures always requre a sad-by vehcle o be moblzed. From he vewpo of vehcle flee maageme s covee ha hese falures occur rarely. I order o rea hese falures he followg model s roduced.

9 V. Pap} J. Popov} /Vehcle Flee Maageme: A Bayesa Approach 85 Le be he umber of vehcles he CO group uder cosderao. Le us suppose ha he umber per sequece of ype C falures s a radom varable deoed by Z wh a codoal bomal dsrbuo B p where parameer p s uow. Thus: P Z p p p Parameer p represes he probably per sequece of a ype C falure. The Bayesa learg algorhm reas p as a radom varable wh a bea dsrbuo. The desy fuco g p wh he a pror deermed values of parameers a ad b s gve by: a b p p g p 0 < p < a > 0 b > 0. B a b 4 Afer sequeces whch z... z2 z falures of ype C are regsered usg he Bayes formula we ca oba he a poseror dsrbuo whch s defed by he desy fuco: g p z z... z 2 a z b z p b z p B a z I follows ha p has a a poseror dsrbuo whch s aga a bea dsrbuo: 5 z z2 z B a z b z p... 6 If we deoe by Z he umber of falures sequece he he dsrbuo of Z s deermed by he equao: P Z B a z b z B a z b z 7 Ths dsrbuo s used o forecas he umber of ype C falures he sequece. Wh hese forecass a had he decso-maer should be able o do beer plag. To summarze: The dsrbuo of all falures ypes A B ad C s gve by 0 he dsrbuo of "crcal" falures ype C by 7 ad he dsrbuo of "flueal" falures falures of ype B or C by 2. Thereby we have mplcly cosdered falures of ype A B ad C.
