The railway is a complex technical system of systems in a multi-stakeholder environment. The implementation of digital technologies is essential for achieving operational excellence and addressing stakeholders’ needs and requirements in relation to the railways. Digitalization is highly dependent on an appropriate digital infrastructure provided through proper information logistics, whereas cybersecurity is critical for the overall security and safety of the railway systems. However, it is important to understand the various issues and challenges presented by governance, business, and technical requirements. Hence, this paper is the first link in the chain to explore, understand, and address such requirements. The purpose of this paper is to identify aspects of distributed ledgers and to provide a taxonomy of issues and challenges to develop a secure and resilient data sharing framework for railway stakeholders.

Blockchain technology is gradually being applied to different customs clearance systems globally to improve the efficiency of trade transactions by digitizing customs clearance processes. This chapter explores the Advance Cargo Information (ACI) system—a blockchain-based system—implemented by the Egyptian Customs Authority (ECA) and provides recommendations for future improvements. A case study was applied on three regular importer companies in Egypt, H.B. Fuller, Ezz Steel, and Zamil Steel, to study specific customs clearance concepts related to time, documentation, and costs associated with the processes to draw a conclusion on the impacts of implementing the ACI on the import customs clearance procedures. Finally, the chapter concludes that the ACI system has had a positive impact on importers and customs employees. Nevertheless, importers still face several challenges with the customs clearance system. Therefore, recommendations are listed for the ECA to upgrade the customs clearance processes, and Misr Technology Services (MTS) to develop the ACI system's infrastructure.
