Florence has a long tradition in railway engineering, historically linked to the Italian State Railways design center. Local industries and the University of Florence have collaborated for decades on railway technologies, especially signaling systems. Research has supported the transition from electromechanical to software-based safety-critical systems through advanced software development, verification, and testing methods.
