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 implementation of new testing needs and integration of technical requirements regarding cargo for this new mode of transport. The aim of this project is proposing a structure and budget, defining the testing needs and propose a roadmap compiling next steps for the realization of a Large-Scale Hyperloop Research Infrastructure from previous thesis and student projects in the research program.

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