Italy, a pioneer in ERTMS and High-Speed Rail 🇮🇹

Italy has been an early investor in ERTMS. This system has played a key role in increasing rail transport’s market share in the country, and the completion of the High-Speed network is expected to bring even greater economic and social benefits.

Since the early 2000s, Italy has been heavily investing in High-Speed lines, with the first ERTMS-equipped lines launched in 2005.

Today, RFI (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana) has initiated an accelerated plan to deploy ERTMS across the entire national railway network by 2036. This ambitious project represents a total investment of €15 billion.

10,236 km of the Italian network is part of the TEN-T network. The completion of high-speed rail corridors in December 2009 made it possible to travel between Milan and Rome in under three hours.

Thanks to the standardized digital topology model developed by the Transversal CCS domain under Lot 2 of the System Pillar, both railway operators and suppliers can collaborate seamlessly—without drowning in paperwork.

For the first time, ERTMS standardisation is expanding beyond train control to cover the entire signalling system—including interlocking and traffic management. This holistic approach tackles major industry challenges while balancing technical ambitions with economic feasibility. That’s why System Pillar activities are a top priority for the sector.
