Abstract. We consider the timed automata model of Alur and Dill, which allows the analysis of real-time systems expressed in terms of quantitative timing constraints. Traditional approaches to real-time system description express the model purely in terms of nondeterminism; however, we may wish to express the likelihood of the system making certain transitions. In this paper, we present a model for real-time systems augmented with discrete probability distributions. Furthermore, using the algorithm of Baier and Kwiatkowska with fairness, we develop a model checking method for such models against temporal logic properties which can refer both to timing properties and probabilities, such as, ``with probability 0.6 or greater, the clock x remains below 5 until clock y exceeds 2''.
