Acknowledgements

1. OVHcloud — Startup Program

Between February 2024 and February 2025, the OVHcloud Startup Program provided cloud credits that supported the early technical work behind SAMRoute. We thank the OVHcloud Startup Program team for their trust at a stage when the only thing we could offer back was effort. The credit window has since ended, and OVHcloud continues to carry our web-fronts and CDN on a standard commercial basis.

2. FFE — Fundación de los Ferrocarriles Españoles

The Fundación de los Ferrocarriles Españoles extended an invitation to the UITP Global Public Transport Summit in Hamburg in June 2025, a small gesture but the kind that lets early-stage work step into the right conversations sooner. We thank the FFE team for it.

3. CEREMA — Nantes

In the early days of 2025, staff at the CEREMA Nantes office took the time to write a preliminary review letter on the SAMRoute level-crossing demonstrator. The letter did not commit the institution to further engagement, and was not intended to. Its existence at that stage of the work mattered on its own terms: it gave us a written early read from inside the public infrastructure-engineering ecosystem. We thank the CEREMA Nantes team for the gesture.

4. Public data and standards

The reference dataset SAMRoute produces would not exist without the open and sovereign data sources we ingest, and the standards bodies whose published methodologies we build against.

4.1 Open and sovereign data sources

4.2 Standards and reference materials

Both standards bodies serve as public-sector references in the French infrastructure-engineering ecosystem. Published, citable, peer-reviewed methodologies of this kind make a reproducible analytical layer possible. Without them, SAMRoute could not exist.
