Purpose: The aim of this chapter is to present key assumptions to clarify the determinants of rail transport digital safety.
Design/Methodology/Approach: A critical literature review with theoretical and practical reflections aiming to explain the interdisciplinary nature of digital safety management in rail transport has been adopted as a methodology for this chapter.
Findings: This chapter identifies key theoretical approaches to understanding digital safety issues in relation to the life cycle of railway systems, as well as the role of software and hardware in digital safety management processes. Cybersecurity was also identified as a key challenge for today’s railways.
Research limitations/implications: The limitations of the analytical and evaluation study result from the difficulty in identifying those issues, which are of the utmost importance when it comes to fully clarifying the issue of digital safety in view of a wide range of approaches to this issue.
Practical implications: The practical nature of the content described is manifested in critical analysis and examples and explaining factors responsible for rail transport digital safety.
Originality/Value: The originality of this chapter is an attempt to explain the relationship between safety and security aspects.
