About SAMRoute
SAMRoute is a platform for safety assessment and modelling of transport infrastructure, with a strong focus on situational awareness around road and route networks and portfolio-scale analysis.
It brings together a data lake (TB-scale), a geo-calculation engine and a set of vertical applications — such as the LX workspace for level crossings — on a single, shared platform, designed to react quickly as data and scenarios change.
It gives COMEX, operations teams and policy makers a common quantitative ground to analyze the safety of the transport infrastructure, and to consolidate situational awareness across territories, business units and partners.
1 What is SAMRoute for?
Organisations use SAMRoute to support investment prioritisation, works planning and policy decisions. It helps focus studies and budgets on the locations that matter most, justify choices with transparent indicators and provide a consistent baseline when decisions are challenged internally or by regulators.
2 Who is SAMRoute for?
SAMRoute is designed for organisations that manage or depend on transport infrastructure and critical flows. Typical users include rail infrastructure managers, road authorities, hazardous logistics operators, fuel and energy distributors, port and terminal operators, and public bodies in charge of mobility, safety and civil protection.
Within these organisations, SAMRoute serves executive teams who need a consolidated view of exposure, operations and engineering teams preparing works and contingencies, and regulators or risk experts who require a clear, quantitative basis for discussing access, resilience and mitigation plans.
3 How does SAMRoute work at portfolio scale?
At portfolio scale, SAMRoute runs the same calculations homogeneously and repeatedly across many sites, corridors and territories. This produces a comparable baseline across regions, countries or business units, rather than a patchwork of one-off studies built on different assumptions and tools.
The platform operates 24/7/365. New analyses, updated scenarios or additional workspaces can be run and consulted whenever needed, without being limited by the availability of a single analyst or by static PDF reports.
4 How does SAMRoute support deep dives and collaboration?
From the portfolio view, users can zoom in on the most sensitive areas and open the relevant vertical applications — for example, the LX workspace for level crossings — to explore the underlying details. The same platform lets different teams look at the same numbers and same maps, instead of circulating different extracts of the truth.
This combination of portfolio screening and deep-dive workspaces makes it easier to align COMEX, operations and regulators. Everyone can see why certain sites, crossings or corridors are treated as priorities and which trade-offs are being made.
5 What data does SAMRoute connect to?
SAMRoute is built to ingest and combine multiple data sources. Today it integrates earth observation, open data on road and rail topology, and vertical-specific data such as transport and mobility feeds (for example GTFS).
Where appropriate, the platform can also be connected with private datasets from your organisation — for instance, internal site lists, operational constraints or historical events — so that the analyses reflect your actual perimeter and priorities rather than a generic view of the territory.
