Railway Infrastructures E-Maintenance Systems: A Literature Review

Abstract

Abstract This paper aims to identify and summarise available literature on railway infrastructure e-maintenance system as a report of the state of the art of research in railway infrastructure e-maintenance system by systematically classifying the published literatures in the period of 2000-2023. The author identify the aspects and elements which influence the railway infrastructure e-maintenance system as well as various approaches to optimize the railway infrastructure e-maintenance system. This paper identify the current research gaps in order to conduct the future prospect of the research. As results, it is observed that based on the study of the published literatures, the implementation of e-maintenance in railway infrastructure sector mostly focus on the use of the information and communication technology (ICT) itself and there is no proper integration between the managerial aspects (i.e. regulation, work breakdown structure, risk, and safety) with information and communication technology (ICT) to optimize the e-maintenance system.
