The B2B operational team plays a key role in the management and evolution of the PRIM (Regional Information Platform for Mobility) platform. It is composed of two specialised referents, each bringing complementary skills:
1. Static Data Referent: Responsible for managing and maintaining static data, such as theoretical schedules, line layouts, network plans, and other non-dynamic information.
2. Dynamic Data Referent: Responsible for real-time data, such as bus or train schedules, incidents on the lines, and traffic information.
How does it work in practice?
The B2B team doesn't work alone. It is based on close collaboration with other operational teams, each responsible for a specific perimeter that ultimately makes it possible to feed all the media. In total, 8 perimeters are dedicated to the management of operations on PRIM. For example, we can find:
- Reference frames (lines, stops)
- The theoretical offer
- Traffic information
- The next real-time passes
- Other data and services provided for B2C (e.g. route planner)
- Follow-up of technical incidents/malfunctions
In addition, they also collaborate with other Île-de-France Mobilités teams who supervise, for example, the creation of new datasets or feed the route planner. This synergy ensures a robust and adaptable ecosystem.
The B2B operational team is organized in an agile and collaborative way in order to respond to three main missions:
1. Creation of new Datasets and Data Visualization (JDD):
• Identification of the needs of users or the PRIM community.
• Collection and processing of data from transport operators or internally.
• Structuring of datasets according to technical standards (GTFS, etc.)
• Validation and integration of JDDs and data visualization in the PRIM platform, with rigorous tests to guarantee their quality.
2. Development of new APIs
• Analysis of user or partner requests to define the necessary functionalities.
• Development or adaptation of existing APIs to provide efficient access to data.
• Comprehensive documentation to support users in their operation.
• Testing and production of APIs with post-launch follow-up to detect and correct any malfunctions.
3.Support for users in the PRIM community
• Daily support to resolve technical issues or answer questions about data and APIs.
• Collection of feedback to continuously improve the services offered.
As a reminder, the PRIM community brings together all the actors using or contributing to the PRIM platform. It includes :
• Transport operators (RATP, SNCF, etc.).
• Curious people who use the PRIM platform for personal purposes.
• Third-party developers (mobility apps, startups, researchers).
• Île-de-France Mobilités' internal services.
This community plays an active role in the development of the platform, offering constructive feedback and identifying new needs. The B2B operational team acts as a bridge between these users and Île-de-France Mobilités, ensuring that the PRIM platform remains an innovative and efficient tool.
