Digital mobile communication network quality research on railway by method of hierarchy analysis

The article proposes a new approach to assessing the quality of the digital radio network of railway transport. The elements of the hierarchy analysis method describe such as influencing factors (criteria) and weight coefficients. The choice of criteria values is justified. For proposed calculation, the disadvantages peculiar method take into account in this research. For example, the architectures of GSM-R networks are considered. According to authors, the assessment obtained provides a more objective quality characteristic, which can be used both for the design of new and operated mobile radio networks. In conditions of limited financial possibilities, this calculation will help to find a compromise between excessive redundancy of elements and maintaining the required reliability of radio network.
