Governance and organisation of OSRD

One of the ambitions of OSRD is to help with timetabling on a European scale.

To reach this goal, OSRD has to take local features into account by consulting and collaborating with railway companies and infrastructure managers.

And for their trouble contributing to OSRD, these companies:

  • profit from all the common development efforts
  • can freely build on the common effort to achieve their own goals1
  • participate in the roadmap and technical direction of the project to the extent of their contribution
