Abstract
The paper presents the analysis of discrete transportation systems (DTS) performance. The formal model of the transportation system is presented. It takes into consideration functional and reliability aspects. Monte Carlo simulation is used for estimating the system quality metric. The quality of the system is assessed in three levels, as: operational, critical and failed. The proposed solution allows to predict the system quality within the short time horizon. The paper includes numerical results for real mail distribution system.
