:1. Introduction
2. Research Design
2.1. Disorders
2.2. Structural Units
3. Results
3.1. There Is No Significant Statistical Dependence between the Different Disorders
3.2. There Is a Significant Statistical Dependence between Structural Units and Failures
- C1–I2;
- C2–(I4 + I6);
- C3–(I7 + I8 + I9);
- C4–I4;
- C5–I9.
- C2–I4—dependence of the heating and air conditioning design unit on the fault labelled air conditioning—p value = 0.0409;
- C2–I6—dependence of the heating and air conditioning design.
- C3–I7—dependence of the structural unit electrical equipment and wiring on the fault marked train radio—p value = 0.0750;
- C3–I8—dependence of the electrical equipment and wiring on the fault marked lighting—p value = 0.0231;
- C3–I9—dependence of the design unit electrical equipment and wiring on the fault labelled power distribution problems—p value = 0.0197.
3.3. There Is a Proven Correlation between Retrofitting and the Reduction in Breakdowns on Passenger Wagons
