  A block system called the Computer and microwave Balise Aided Train Detection System (COMBAT) was developed to use microwave balises for train detection as a train control and protection system that requires high-level safety, by applying FMEA and FTA for safety analysis and MTBF to confirm reliability. These analyses have proved that COMBAT has high levels of safety and reliability. This paper describes the results of safety analysis and reliability evaluation.
