Abstract
A key challenge for the modern-day railway sector is to improve its competitiveness
while ensuring reliable and sustainable mode of transportation for passengers and
goods on demand. To meet these challenges, the strategic focus of the railway sector
has been to find transformative technology and business solutions for the railway
assets that will ensure safe and failure free railway asset operation and maintenance
at the lowest cost. Accordingly, managers in railway sector have aligned their strategic
thinking towards asset wide application of digital technologies for achieving
excellence in asset operation and maintenance. However, these digital transformation
journey needs to resolve many issues and challenges, namely technological, business
and governance related challenges to make railway sustainable and economically
viable. The paper presents a short description of such digital and enabling
technologies, associated issues and challenges, together with future trends.
