1. A method for determining a wiring risk, comprising:
- identifying a number of connectors to which a target harness identified from a plurality of harnesses is indirectly connected;
determining, based on the identified number of connectors, a first risk that electric wires connected to a plurality of terminal devices are bundled into a single harness;
matching location information of the target harness to an influenced area by a hazard source;
identifying whether the target harness passes through the influenced area; and
determining, based on the matched location information and identification of whether the target harness passes through the influenced area, a second risk that harnesses fail at the same time in a wiring system in which the plurality of harnesses are provided between the plurality of terminal devices and connected via connectors; and
changing at least one of the plurality of harnesses based on the determined first risk or the determined second risk in a manner that reduces the determined first risk or the determined second risk.

Abstract
A method for determining a wiring risk is a method for determining a first risk that electric wires connected to a plurality of terminal devices are bundled into a single harness, and a second risk that harnesses fail at the same time, wherein the first risk is determined by identifying the number of connectors to which a target harness identified from the plurality of harnesses is indirectly connected, and the second risk is determined by matching location information of the target harness to an influenced area by a hazard source, and identifying whether the target harness passes through the influenced area.

9. A wiring risk determination system which determines a first risk that electric wires connected to a plurality of terminal devices are bundled into a single harness, and a second risk that harnesses fail at the same time in a wiring system in which a plurality of harnesses, each as a bundle of electric wires, are provided between the plurality of terminal devices and connected via connectors, the system comprising:
-
a display, a database that stores connection information between the connector and the harness, location information of the harnesses, and information on an influenced area by a hazard source, and a processing unit configured to; determine the first risk and determine the second risk, when a target harness identified from the plurality of harnesses is specified, identify the number of connectors to which the target harness is indirectly connected based on the connection information so as to determine the first risk, match the location information of the target harness to the influenced area information, and identify whether the target harness passes through the influenced area so as to determine the second risk; calculate a simultaneous failure risk value of at least one of the plurality of harnesses based on the determined first risk or the determined second risk; determine a change to at least one of the plurality of harnesses to be made based on the calculated simultaneous failure risk value, wherein the change reduces the determined first risk or the determined second risk; and display the determined change on the display. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18)
