    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Warning_System

    AWS is provided at most main aspect signals on running lines, though there are some exceptions: [1] At through stations where the permitted speed is 30 mph (48 km/h) or less and the layout is complex. Where this occurs, these are called AWS gap areas. AWS magnets are not provided at semaphore stop signals (which can only display clear or stop).

  3. High availability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability

    There are three principles of systems design in reliability engineering that can help achieve high availability. Elimination of single points of failure. This means adding or building redundancy into the system so that failure of a component does not mean failure of the entire system. Reliable crossover.

    Early AWS "building blocks" logo along a sigmoid curve depicting recession followed by growth. [citation needed]The genesis of AWS came in the early 2000s. After building Merchant.com, Amazon's e-commerce-as-a-service platform that offers third-party retailers a way to build their own web-stores, Amazon pursued service-oriented architecture as a means to scale its engineering operations, [15 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_engineering

    Reliability engineering is a sub-discipline of systems engineering that emphasizes the ability of equipment to function without failure. Reliability is defined as the probability that a product, system, or service will perform its intended function adequately for a specified period of time, OR will operate in a defined environment without failure.

  9. Weibull distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weibull_distribution

    The Weibull distribution (usually sufficient in reliability engineering) is a special case of the three parameter exponentiated Weibull distribution where the additional exponent equals 1. The exponentiated Weibull distribution accommodates unimodal , bathtub shaped [ 33 ] and monotone failure rates .
