This includes the bus rapid transit systems (BRT) that have been developed in a number of American cities, wMch involve a substantial dedicated physical infrastmcture, although not to the same extent as fixed tail systems. One of the most notable of these new BRT systems has been built along the Euclid Avenue corridor in Qeveland. Transit systems that do not involve a fixed rail or similar infrastructure arc better characterized as mstitutional rather than physical networks.

Installation of early warning systems, to alert for the coming earthquake and cut off the operation of high-risk facilities such as the gas network or to slow down highspeed trains. Such systems are currently implemented in Bay Area Rapid Transit system (www.bart.gov) and Japan Railways (Nakamura and Saita 2007). 

The Bay Area Rapid Transit system (BART) in San Francisco, California, sustained the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake without damage and was operational after the earthquake. It consists of underground stations and tunnels embedded in soft bay mud deposits connected to Oakland via the transbay-immersed-tube tunnel. It was one of the first underground facilities designed with seismic consideradmis special seismic joints were designed to accommodate differential movements. Limited displacements were measured at that joint.
