The project was born from the participation in the municipal competition in Rome for the design of new technologies on transport. The idea for the Rome metro network is to manage the large flows of people, optimising the routes and the spaces occupied in the trains and in the platforms of the stations.

Through cameras located inside the wagons, an AI software recognises in real time the number of people inside each wagon. The data is sent to the computer of the next station where the train will have to pass. At the station platforms, the yellow safety line is illuminated both on the ground and on the ceiling by yellow led lamps. 3 minutes before the arrival of the train , the lamps of the yellow safety line change color to green at the place where the free wagons will stop and  to red at the place where the busiest wagons will stop. This allows people at the train station  to position themselves where  a freer wagon will stop and passengers in the busier wagons to get off the train more easily.

To visualise this technology, a minimal and futuristic metro station has been designed, with light signs and coloured seats  in order to get an easy reading of the functions.
