Italian pilot site

The pilot case is related to a very important touristic area in Southern Italy, including high-density urban settlements and very dense wooded areas on the slopes. The ridge of the Sorrento Peninsula in the proposed area rises up to 390 m above sea level and the slopes are often subjected to extreme wildfires (both natural or malicious); in 2017 a very big fire involved different areas in Campania Region but in particular around the Vesuvius, causing also interruption in public transportation services. A cable car system will be built to connect a sea-level location to the ridge of the Sorrento Peninsula, to integrate the regional rail transport system (Circumvesuviana Circumvesuviana Railway) with connection to remote areas only reachable by car.
