French term or phrase: dessertes les plus en amont
Hello,

Can anyone help me understand the term "dessertes les plus en amont" " in the following context?

"Le système de réservation et de distribution est maintenant complété d’un système d’information intégré dédié à la production ferroviaire du «transporteur » SNCF, couvrant la totalité de ses besoins, depuis les études de dessertes les plus en amont, jusqu’à la gestion opérationnelle des trafics voyageurs."

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Explanation:
literally - from the study of (transport) services (dessertes) the furthest back up the line, in other words, from the very first studies into services (required) right through to providing the actual passenger services themselves

Explanation:
I think the text is talking about studying all riders needs, from the outlying areas (dessertes les plus en amont) to the city center (trafics voyageurs). That's my sense of it.

dessertes les plus en amont
literally means
services the most upstream
