Biography

With over 18 years of experience in railway data, I am deeply involved in international initiatives such as RINF and various RNE applications, including RIS, CIP, RFP, and TenTec. At ProRail, I serve as one of the architects behind the OTL (Object Type Library) and its associated exchange format, IMX, which are used for ERTMS design and implementation. I am passionate about sharing my expertise in railway infrastructure models and data, focusing on people to make systems truly effective.

ProRail is the Railway Infrastructure Manager of the Netherlands
