1. What we do
SAMRoute produces quantitative risk indicators for European rail infrastructure. The current line of work characterizes the immediate environment of road–rail level crossings across the French national network, drawing on public reference materials and field-validated data; the first end-to-end production delivery was made to SNCF Réseau in November 2025. The detailed substrate behind that work is on the Research timeline.
2. Stage and posture
Oriskami SAS is a French simplified joint-stock company (SAS), founder-led, pre-revenue, headquartered near Rennes. The runway is primarily self-funded, supported by France's R&D credit framework (CIR). In November 2025 the first production run of the level-crossing line of work was delivered to SNCF Réseau.
The team consists of one full-time founder. Two years of working contact with the infrastructure managers we serve sit behind the work. The deliberate posture is to ship narrow, prove the substrate on real infrastructure, and let depth carry the early traction.
3. Market context
The buyers we build for are conservative by necessity: rail infrastructure managers (ADIF, Network Rail, ProRail, SNCF Réseau, and their peers across Europe) and the reinsurers exposed to their portfolios. Adjacent demand sits with build-side agencies overseeing major capex programmes (Société des Grands Projets in France, equivalents elsewhere in Europe) and with infrastructure-asset investors holding equity in rail concessions or IM-adjacent businesses, where the same nearby-environment reading supports asset due diligence and ongoing portfolio monitoring.
Four forces shape the next decade of demand for the analytical layer this work sits in:
- Deferred-maintenance backlog. Accumulated across European networks, now visible at the political level and being released into procurement programmes.
- Traffic densification at constant infrastructure. More trains per hour on networks originally sized for less, while the surrounding context continues to age on its original cycle.
- EU Directive CER (2022/2557, application October 2024). Pulls resilience work toward the surroundings of the asset — exposure, dependencies, cascading-effect — territory that complements where owners' deep expertise traditionally sits.
- Squeezed public safety budgets. Limited safety resources now require explicit, defensible prioritisation against shared metrics.
All four forces are visible in published programmes and budget documents today.
4. What's shipped
The production system characterises 100% of the active level crossings on the French national rail network — every LX, across roughly 200 metrics describing the nearby environment of each crossing. The metrics focus on emitters of traffic at risk in the surroundings, with escape-route modelling: the nominal route through the LX (h0) compared against the alternative detour around it (h1). The whole national asset base recomputes in a handful of minutes, so re-runs on data refresh stay inside the same operational cadence.
Analytics artefacts reach customers, their safety auditors, and their partners through a portal and a drive-sync companion (the same shape as Google Drive, operated by us). Distribution matches how these organisations work: shared folders, named recipients, audit-friendly hand-off.
The infrastructure posture is deliberately capex-first. Production runs on our own off-cloud machines, 24/7 connected; cloud workloads are scoped to the web-fronts and CDN. The trade-off — control over the production substrate, predictable cost as the asset base grows — sits where we want it.
Independent verification is built in:
- Public data catalogue — api.samroute.com/api/public/data-catalog
- Founder track record — Leiden PhD, postdocs, peer-reviewed publications, prior production-shipping work, on Who we are
- Field presence — conferences, trade shows, prospection meetings, in the News section on the home page
- Year-by-year build-up — on the Research timeline
- Service status — uptime.oriskami.com
5. What we want from a partner
We are open to conversations with infrastructure-aware investors — funds, family offices, or strategic partners who understand the regulated-customer sales cycle, the long pilot-to-contract conversion typical of rail, and the patience this kind of work demands. We are based in France, EU-friendly by default, and comfortable with co-investment.
