iRail is a community-based living lab that provides real-time public transportation data through its API to help inform commuters. The initial iRail API 1.0 provided data from Belgium's national rail operator SNCB on stations, real-time departures, connections between stations, and vehicle information in various formats. iRail API 2.0 provides more extensive data and is currently in alpha testing, with a stable release planned for February 2012. iRail functions as both a community and living lab, inviting collaboration and theses from interested parties.
