As a Product Owner at Arcadis, I bring a deep passion for innovation and
a strong background in rail signaling engineering.
I am a visionary leader with a keen eye on the future, always exploring
ways to enhance our work processes, drive smarter decisions, and
ultimately boost business margins. My ability to see years ahead allows
me to anticipate industry trends and position our team at the forefront of
technological advancement.
My greatest strength lies in my ability to unite teams and inspire them to
develop software solutions that not only meet our objectives but exceed
user expectations. The success of our products is reflected in the
satisfaction of our users and the tangible value they bring to the business.

Jeroen Kooistra
Working at Arcadis since 2009 I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to
various rail projects. With a background in Project Management, I
gradually transitioned to software development where I first
encountered the Agile way of working. This was a game changer for
me and since then I gained experience as Agile Coach, working hands-
on with DevOps teams in SAFe organizations.
In my role as Team Lead of one of the Rail Signaling teams and
dedicated Mobility DevOps team, I pushed and supported innovation
throughout the Arcadis business lines. Being heavily involved with the
development of DynDash from the start, my interest in Product
Management has grown immensely over the years. I’m looking forward
sharing the insights we have learned over the years while working to
advance the rail industry!

ProRail 2040 Vision on Digitalization
Four Use Cases in a Digitalized Future:
1. Digital Replica of our Railway Network
Digitalization of the technical rail design along with associated
configuration data.
2. Digital Construction and Maintenance
Utilization of operational data to monitor and update the maintenance
status in real time.
3. Customer- and data-driven capacity allocation
Automatic capacity optimization for train paths of all operators to ensure
a stable timetable.
4. Intelligent Traffic Management
Implementation of ERTMS on railway segments in the Netherlands in
accordance with the ERTMS roll-out plan.

Unique opportunity to enhance our
highly secure train safety system, by developing a data-driven information
exchange across the entire chain
How did we transition from theory to a
revolutionary new approach for data-driven design & engineering?
Elemental component for this transition: Railway Information Model (IMX)
