Abstract The traditional reliability analysis methods such as Reliability Block Diagram (RBD), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Markov Analysis (MA) are all subjective methods whose results depend on the designers’ skills and experiences. A model-based reliability method is proposed for the wheel brake system by using AADL. The wheel brake system is modeled based on the AADL, and the AADL Error Model Annex is applied to describe the fault propagation of the system. An information extraction approach is proposed for the AADL based model, and rules of transforming AADL based models to Colored Petri Nets (CPN) are given according to the information extracted. The reliability analysis of the wheel brake system is conducted in terms of the CPN. In this study, the reliability analysis results are generated via the system model automatically, they are not depending on the analysts’ experiences and skills and the ambiguity among different analysts can be avoided.
