NS Wins the NLJUG INNOVATION AWARD 2024
During the 21st edition of J-Fall 2024, Europe’s largest Java conference, the NLJUG Innovation Award was presented for the sixth time. The winner of this year’s award is: Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS).
Out of the three nominees, chosen by the independent jury, NS was selected as the winner by the attendees of J-Fall.In the dynamic domain of railway operations, adaptability is crucial—especially within one of the busiest networks in the world, such as the Netherlands. Traditional planning systems often fail when faced with real-time disruptions and changing passenger demand. To address this challenge, NS has developed BAM! (Bijsturings Applicatie Materieel), an innovative system that completely transforms how train schedules are quickly adjusted.
The jury and J-Fall attendees praise NS and the BAM! team for their innovation and courage in replacing such a large and important software component, significantly enhancing the user experience. BAM! is a well-deserved winner of the NLJUG Innovation Award 2024.
