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.

Execution Date:

January 16-February 23

Location:

Milan, Italy.

How we made it happen

Mobile Mapping together with Static LiDAR

Before starting work on the tracks, we conducted a detailed study to identify the specific needs of the project. The objective was to select the appropriate technology and define the actions needed to meet the established deadlines.

In the first phase, detailed data was acquired using Mobile Mapping along with static LiDAR. This technology made it possible to accurately capture the key points needed for the project.

A geo-referenced point cloud of the entire infrastructure was created with the data obtained. This cloud included detailed information on signaling, track geometry, safety systems and beaconing.

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.
