Developing Large Scale Hyperloop Research Infrastructures in European Research Program

Short description:

Hyperloop is a guided transport system in which so-called pods are designed to transport people and goods at the speed of sound in a partially evacuated tube. Within the framework of the “Hyperloop Development Program” a European research initiative, individual technologies, economics and use cases of this system are being investigated.

This project deals with the drafting of new research infrastructure with a focus on cargo for this new mode of transport. The aim of this project is compiling the general structure especially organization structure and setup of a testing facility through questionnaires and interviews with researchers, industry experts and policy makers.

Supervisor other departments (e.g. economics) by arrangement.
