Los usuarios del Tram de Alicante que utilicen la estación de Luceros pasarán indefectiblemente por un escáner láser que monitorizará en tiempo real y de forma anónima el flujo de pasajeros. Se trata de una nueva tecnología en modo de pruebas que ha comenzado a utilizar Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) para conocer los movimientos en la estación, el tiempo de espera de los clientes y, de esta manera, optimizar el tráfico ferroviario.

The pilot test, funded by European resources and pioneering in Spain's railway sector, is being developed by Outsight, a leader in 3D Perception technology (Artificial Intelligence), in collaboration with SICE, a leading technology integrator.

The project employs a new type of 3D Artificial Intelligence with sensors installed at the station to collect key data. The technology, known as LiDAR, is a system that uses lasers to measure distances, create three-dimensional maps, and detect movement anonymously.

Outsight's program allows for the collection of detailed data on occupancy and movement within the station anonymously, thus creating a real-time 3D digital twin. This enables FGV to "verify in real-time the areas with the highest concentration of people and identify waiting times in each area, helping to understand peak demand times and better plan resources," according to the public company.

For example, it will be possible to know the number of people present at any given time in the station; the number of travelers entering through each access point; the users entering and exiting through each turnstile, and the passengers going up and down the stairs. It will also serve to measure the average waiting time in queues at vending machines or the customer service desk.

Ultimately, this information aids FGV in understanding resource utilization, peak and off-peak hours, service occupancy rates, etc. Additionally, this solution monitors passenger inflow and outflow, providing a detailed analysis of behavior at different times of the day. It also examines occupancy density to detect bottlenecks and propose improvements to optimize user circulation.

The pilot test will last between three and four months, during which its impact on passenger management will be evaluated, and detailed reports will be generated for FGV. These data will help identify areas for improvement and explore new collaborations to expand the use of this technology in other smart infrastructures.
