SAMRoute produces a structured reference dataset (référentiel) of the surrounding environment of critical infrastructure points — starting with level crossings (PN) across the French national rail network.
The référentiel covers 12,000 PN with approximately 200 metrics per point, describing surrounding context (demographics, land use, nearby emitters, road infrastructure, accident history) and functional dependencies (which traffic flows depend on which points, and what happens when a point is bypassed).
The result is a shared, comparable, auditable basis that teams can use to prioritise, review, and coordinate — across the full portfolio, not point by point.
The référentiel currently covers France (national rail network) and is extensible to other territories when data is available — initial datasets have been tested in Spain. It is built from sovereign and open sources: NASA GPW, Copernicus GHSL, ESA Worldcover, Eurostat, IGN RGE Alti, OpenStreetMap, Mapillary, ONISR, SIRENE, GTFS.
