Abstract

This paper presents an approach to the reliability and
availability of Vessel Traffic Management and Information Systems
through the analysis of hardware, software and human reliability.
The paper analyzes the critical subsystems and modules on the
basis of the reliability theory, in order to achieve and ensure
the availability of systems, i.e. to increase the safety of maritime
traffic and the protection of the sea and marine environment.
The paper discusses some of the techniques and mechanisms of
hardware and software redundancy, as well as the activities that
result in increasing the reliability of man.
