From Japan's long experience in earthquake management comes a technological leap forward also for the Italian railway network. From 3 May 2025, the first national Earthquake Early Warning System (EWS) will be operational on the Rome-Naples high-speed line .
Implemented by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (FS Group), the project is the result of collaboration with the Railway Technical Research Institute (JR RTRI), a scientific body of the Japanese railways, and the Physics Department of the University of Naples Federico II.
