🚆 SNCF Datathon 2025 — 48 Hours of Data, AI & Innovation!
The SNCF Datathon returned for a second year—and once again, AREP’s Hypercube team was in the arena!
3 of our data experts joined forces with more than 70 SNCF professionals and students from École Polytechnique for an intense AI challenge.
🔍 4 Real-World Data Challenges
Across 12 teams, participants tackled pressing transportation challenges with tech and creativity:
- Smart transport plans: Predict maintenance, assess incident risks, and model their impact.
- Passenger info in crisis: Can LLMs improve communication during disruptions?
- TGV-M digital companion: How to enhance the onboard experience in the next-gen TGV Inoui.
- Climate impact & mobility: Quantify how climate change is shifting public transit use.
⚙️ From Raw Data to Working Prototype
Each team received a SNCF dataset and had just 48 hours to deliver:
analyze data, imagine solutions, build prototypes, and pitch them to a jury.
