It is not possible to achieve and maintain appropriate availability of traffic control system unless issues of appropriate maintenance servicing of traffic control equipment have been resolved. This will require applying a specific servicing policy, worked out on the basis of such system availability model. The servicing of a technical object is understood as any treatment, which results in restoring the object?s state of availability. Servicing may consist in a repair of equipment or in its inspection. Classification of servicing optimisation models, in respect of using appropriate mathematical methods, such as Markov models, is presented. %@ 2083-6473
