System Reliability Assessment Based on Failure Propagation Processes

Table 1

Comparison of network reliability measures.

Measures	Failure propagation	Property of nodes	Property of edges	Connectivity	Critical threshold of system reliability
Terminal reliability	×	×	×	√	×
Percolation reliability	×	√ but a few	×	×	√
Efficiency reliability	×	×	√ but a few	√	×
System reliability (the proposed method)	√	√	√	√	√

√ denotes that this factor is considered in estimating reliability and × represents that this factor is not taken into consideration.
