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 need for new testing facilities with a focus on cargo of this new mode of transport. The aim of this project is the identification of stakeholders for cargo applications and compiling their testing needs through a questionnaire to propose new hyperloop cargo testing requirements. 

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

Goal:

• Research testing needs for Hyperloop from use cases and feasibility studies
  • Compare requirements with existing cargo transportation modes
• Prepare questionnaire for stakeholders and industry experts
  • Interview logistics research partners
• Compile Hyperloop Cargo testing requirements
  • Acceleration, packaging, handling, requirements for different goods like edibles, industrial goods, electronics, robust and raw materials…
