Milan Metro (Italy)
Upgrading of the signaling and safety systems of the Milan Metro tracks.
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
Updating of signaling and road safety systems
Grupo Álava has participated in a project for the Milan Metro consisting of updating and improving the safety and signaling systems on the tracks of one of its lines, the CM3. During the work required to carry out these actions, a complete inventory of the track assets was also carried out.
Mobile Mapping technology was used for this project, which allowed mobile 3D laser scanning with moving devices from the first station on the Comasina line to the last station, San Donato. In total, 20 stations on the CM3 line of the Milan Metro and 17 kilometers of track were scanned.
Date of execution:
January 16-February 23

How we made it happen
Mobile Mapping together with Static LiDAR
Before carrying out the work on the tracks, Grupo Álava carried out a study of the specific needs of the project. Its objective was to choose the appropriate technology to be used and to decide on the steps to be taken in order to meet the planned deadlines. Subsequently, the first phase of the work began. In this phase, using Mobile Mapping together with static LiDAR, the points that needed to be detailed were acquired.
With them, a georeferenced cloud of the entire infrastructure was generated, detailed enough to provide the level of precision needed to optimize the design of the new systems to be implemented. In addition, this point cloud incorporates information on all the signaling, track geometry, safety and marking elements of the metro line tracks.

RESULTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Data collection
Once this phase was completed, a new stage was passed, in which the data obtained with the point cloud was processed. From this data, the lanes and center lines were automatically extracted, saving this information for future needs. Thanks to this information, those responsible for the Milan Metro had, as a result of the work carried out by the experts of the Alava Group, all the necessary data to carry out the tasks of updating their signaling and safety systems.
