Rome–Naples railway line gets earthquake early warning system that stops trains automatically

[..]

The new Seismic Early Warning system on the Rome-Naples high-speed line is based on a series of integrated technologies that work in a coordinated manner to ensure timely intervention in the event of an earthquake.

[...]

The technological heart of the system is represented by the accelerometer stations, highly sensitive devices capable of detecting ground accelerations caused by earthquakes already in their initial phases.

The EWS is only the first operational application on a high-speed line. As part of RFI's innovation plan, extensions are planned on other high-speed lines and on conventional lines equipped with the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), with the aim of increasing the resilience of the national rail network.
