Chapter Chapter 5 in Digital Safety in Railway Transport—Aspects of Management and Technology, 2022, pp 49-56 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Purpose: The aim of this chapter is to present key assumptions to explain the determinants of digital transformation in rail transport. Design/Methodology/Approach: A critical literature review with theoretical and practical reflections which aim to explain the complexity of digital transformation processes in the context of assessing the digital maturity of railway systems has been adopted as the methodology for this chapter. Findings: This chapter identifies key approaches to understanding the place and role of the digital transformation and its impact on rail transport safety management. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of the analytical and evaluation study are due to the difficulty in identifying those issues that are crucial to fully explaining the role of the digital transformation processes in the rail transport sector in the context of safety. Practical implications: The practical nature of the content described lies in a critical analysis of the processes of the digital transformation of railways. Originality/Value: The originality of this chapter is the integration of rail transport safety solutions from the hybrid perspective, which combines analog and digital solutions.
