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 location selection process for a new Large-Scale Hyperloop Research Infrastructure for certification for Hyperloop as a new mode of transport. A scope, methodology and objectives are formulated for a location selection process with the consideration of technological requirements and requirements from the research ecosystem and relevant stakeholders.
