This study presents a statistical modeling approach for predicting the operational reliability of induction motors used in dump truck drives. The proposed method uses censored data, including both time to failure and data on properly operating engines, to assess reliability indicators, such as uptime based on Weibull and lognormal distributions. A generalized “life curve” of the stator and bearing unit is constructed, which makes it possible to determine interval estimates of the service life and residual service life. The model is implemented as software for calculating distribution parameters and visualizing reliability dependencies. Approbation based on the operational data of quarry transport confirmed the applicability of the proposed approach for diagnosing and optimizing the maintenance system of induction motors of heavy equipment.
