Derailment is a business risk for rail operators. However, most of the derailments are due to a combination of several causes. This paper presents a derailment study, focusing on Australia, that categorizes a comprehensive set of factors causing derailment and current mitigation techniques. Finally, a risk gap is analysed and integrated model is proposed. Further, the opportunities to incorporate remote monitoring and data analysis technologies to ensure an eMaintenance management of derailment are discussed. A case study on eMaintenance of rail lubrication, which is highly related to derailment, is also demonstrated in this paper.
