A Safety Knowledge Graph as an enabler for Dynamic Risk Management at Renfe

Renfe is developing an ambitious digital transformation programme to pave the way for Dynamic Risk Management (DRM) to assess the safety performance of Safety Management Systems. DRM requires of advanced data acquisition systems and Renfe is developing a Safety Enterprise Architecture (SEA) for it. This presentation shows how the core of this SEA is a semantic layer based on a Safety Knowledge Graph to enable the right integration of different data sources at Renfe.

Renfe Group is the leader in rail transport for passengers and goods and a point of reference in the mobility sector in Spain. With 5,000 trains running every day in Spain, more than 500 million passengers a year, about 15,000 committed employees who are proud of their work and the most outstanding rates for punctuality, quality and satisfaction, Renfe is working to make the train the star of mobility in Spain and, at the same time, expand our business and cross borders. The intense work done since then has made us one of the leading railway companies in the world and projected us significantly on an international scale, where our reputation will grow even more with the liberalisation of the railway sector in Europe over coming years. As a company, we are maximising the benefits of the sustainability that goes with this mode of transport, and we are making a decisive commitment to technological and digital transformation – areas that will make Renfe a benchmark global operator beyond the rail market.
