1. Boilerplate
Three lengths to copy-paste, depending on the context.
1.1 Short — 50 words
SAMRoute is the product line of Oriskami SAS, a French software editor producing quantitative risk indicators for European rail infrastructure. The current line of work characterises every active level crossing on the French national network across roughly 200 metrics describing the nearby environment of each crossing.
1.2 Medium — 150 words
SAMRoute is the product line of Oriskami SAS, a French simplified joint-stock company headquartered near Rennes. The platform produces quantitative risk indicators describing the nearby environment of European rail infrastructure assets — what surrounds the track, the crossing, or the structure, not the asset itself. The current line of work covers every active level crossing on the French national network across roughly 200 metrics, with escape-route modelling that imputes which surrounding emitters of risk-bearing traffic depend on which level crossing, and how acutely. The first production delivery was made to SNCF Réseau in November 2025. The company is founder-led and pre-revenue, with a runway primarily self-funded and supported by France's R&D credit framework (CIR). The founder, Fabrice Colas, holds a PhD in statistical learning from Leiden University and the personal CIR-approved consultant agrément from the French Ministry of Research.

SAMRoute is the product line of Oriskami SAS, a French simplified joint-stock company (SAS) founded in 2021 in Saint-Grégoire (Brittany). The platform produces quantitative risk indicators that describe the nearby environment of European rail infrastructure assets, on the same reference, across the whole portfolio. The wedge of the work is flow attribution: public data tells you where each level crossing is, where each emitter of risk-bearing traffic is, and what the road graph looks like — but not which emitters' nominal routes cross which level crossing. SAMRoute imputes that link, crossing by crossing, and quantifies the dependence through escape-route modelling (h0 nominal route, h1 alternative detour). The current production scope covers every active level crossing on the French national rail network across roughly 200 metrics; the first production delivery was made to SNCF Réseau in November 2025 and validated against field data the following month. Roughly 40% of crossings carry at least one origin–destination pair in the prohibitive-detour class. The whole national portfolio recomputes in a handful of minutes; analytics artefacts reach customers, their safety auditors, and their partners through a portal and a self-hosted drive sync. Production runs on the company's own off-cloud infrastructure, with cloud workloads scoped to web-fronts and CDN. The company is founder-led and pre-revenue; the runway is primarily self-funded and supported by France's R&D credit framework (CIR). The founder, Fabrice Colas, holds a PhD in statistical learning from Leiden University, postdoctoral training at UCLA, UMC Utrecht, and Leiden University Medical Center, and the personal CIR-approved consultant agrément from the French Ministry of Research (2022, renewed 2025–2027).
2. Logos
Three formats, ready to drop into editorial layouts.
- SVG (vector, primary) — download
- SVGZ (gzipped vector, lighter weight) — download
- PNG (raster, 1024px) — download
- Favicon (SVGZ + PNG) — SVGZ · PNG
A few usage notes. Reproduce the logo in its original colours, on light or neutral backgrounds. Maintain a clear space around the mark equal to the height of the SAM character. Avoid recolouring, stretching, rotating, or applying drop shadows. For dark-background layouts or print contexts where the original mark would lose contrast, write to us and we will provide a fitting variant.
