Milan Metro 5500 series

The Milan Metro 5500 series is a rapid transit electric multiple unit operated by Azienda Trasporti Milanesi (ATM) on the Milan Metro since February 2013.
==History==
The 5500 series is the first generation of rolling stock to operate on Milan Metro's Line M5. It is the second type of light rolling stock introduced onto the Milan Metro network. The first two sets, 5501 and 5502, were completed in 2010 and lifted into the premises for testing. The sets entered service in February 2013 with the opening of Line M5.
==Design==
The 5500 series series is a member of the AnsaldoBreda Driverless Metro family. The locomotive's exterior design was done by noted automotive and industrial designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and uses the basic design of the metro shared by a number of other similar systems using the Driverless Metro.
==Specifications==
The 5500 series series uses an AnsaldoBreda IGBT variable frequency drive system.
As with all Driverless Metro sets, it features Automatic Train Protection (ATP), Automatic Train Operation (ATO) and Automatic Train Supervisory (ATS) systems. Trains are controlled by a central control center and can be driven manually from the center in the event of an emergency; the computer-controlled system is said to eliminate human errors and offer a high amount of precision in the trains's operation.
