The B2B operational team plays a key role in the management and evolution of the PRIM platform (Plateforme Régionale d'Information pour la mobilité). It comprises two specialized referents, each bringing complementary skills:
1. Static data referent: responsible for the management and maintenance of static data, such as theoretical timetables, line layouts, network plans, and other non-dynamic information.
2. Dynamic data referent: in charge of real-time data, such as bus or train timetables in circulation, incidents on Lines, and traffic information.
How does it work in practice?
The B2B team doesn't work alone. It relies on close collaboration with other operational teams, each responsible for a specific perimeter that ultimately feeds all media. A total of 8 areas are dedicated to PRIM's operational management. These include:
- Referentials (Lines, Stops)
- Theoretical offer
- Traffic information
- Real-time Next Departures
- Other data and services provided for B2C (ex : Route Planners)
- Monitoring of technical incidents/dysfunctions
In addition, they also collaborate with other Île-de-France Mobilités teams who oversee, for example, the creation of new datasets or feed the Route Planners. This synergy guarantees a robust and adaptable ecosystem.
The B2B operational team is organized in an agile and collaborative way to respond to three main missions:
1.Creation of new Datasets and datavisualization (JDD):
- Identification of user or PRIM community needs.
- Collection and processing of data from transport operators or internal.
- Structuring of datasets according to technical standards (GTFS, etc.)
- Validation and integration of JDDs and datavisualization into the PRIM platform, with rigorous testing to guarantee their quality.
2.Development of new APIs
- Analysis of user or partner requests to define necessary functionalities.
- Development or adaptation of existing APIs to provide efficient data access.
- Full documentation to support users in their operation.
- Testing and production launch of APIs with post-launch monitoring to detect and correct any malfunctions.
3.Support for PRIM community users
- Daily assistance to resolve technical problems or answer questions about data and APIs.
- Gathering feedback to continuously improve the services offered.
As a reminder, the PRIM community brings together all players using or contributing to the PRIM platform. It includes :
- Transport operators (RATP, SNCF, etc.).
- Curious individuals who use the PRIM platform for personal purposes.
- Third-party developers (mobility applications, startups, researchers).
- Île-de-France Mobilités' internal departments.
This community plays an active role in the platform's development, 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, high-performance tool.
