Céline DURUPT
I am an open data expert, working at SNCF (the french railway company) for 10 years on OSM-related software projects.
I am currently working on OSRD (osrd.fr), an open-source web application for railway infrastructure design, capacity analysis and timetabling. In OSM, I am interested in railway infrastructure description data (tracks, signals, stations, electrification, speed limits, milestones...).
Session
SNCF Réseau is the railway infrastructure manager of France. Culturally in this big (53 000 employees), old (founded in 1938 to nationalize pre-existing railway companies) company, geographic and open data is little well known nor used.
We replaced outdated internal data with OpenStreetMap’s railway track data (and not only as a base layer!). In this talk, we will tell you how we pulled this off.
