# LA Metro Systems Design and Engineering Services

![LA Metro Systems Design and Engineering Services](https://www.systra.com/usa/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/03/la-metro-lrt.jpg)

**SYSTRA has helped shape the train control and signaling systems throughout the LA Metro’s rail network, through various multi-year, multi-million-dollar systems engineering task-order based contracts and standalone projects.**

SYSTRA began working with LA Metro in the 1990s, when we designed and helped
commission the original Blue Line light rail signaling system and, in 2018,
provided systems engineering support for re-signaling portions of the line, the
oldest in the network.

SYSTRA also designed and helped commission the Green Line light rail automatic
train control (ATC) system that included the wayside, vehicle, and rail
operations control ATC systems. These allow for upgrade to GoA4–the highest
level of automation enabling transfer of train operations from the driver to the
train control system.

As part of the SECOTrans systems team, SYSTRA updated LA Metro’s standards for
ATC, including the design criteria and baseline specifications, and developed
train control directive drawings.

In addition, SYSTRA designed the ATC system for the East San Fernando Valley
(ESFV) light rail line, which is LA Metro’s first Progressive Design-Build (PDB)
project.
