Read the full report here Hyperloop is an innovative system that could significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transport sector in Europe. For the polluting aviation sector, no sustainable solutions have been found yet and the current high-speed rail (HSR) network is an inadequate replacement. Hyperloop could bridge the gap between HSR and […]

Read the full report here Hyperloop is often proposed as a high-speed, sustainable solution for long-distance passenger transport. However, for hyperloop, the combination of comfort and high speeds into sharp turns remains largely unexplored, despite being crucial for enabling flexible route development within European infrastructure. In the past, banking has been implemented in other modes […]

The European Hyperloop Week (EHW) is the largest hyperloop student competition in the world. It is a yearly event in which student teams from all over the world can demonstrate their hyperloop systems and share their knowledge. The EHW was founded in 2020 by four student teams (HYPED, Hyperloop UPV, Swissloop, Delft Hyperloop) after the discontinuation […]

In December 2024, The Hyper4Rail consortium of 27 partners from 13 countries had its kickoff hosted at Tum Hyperloop. The consortium receives a €2.8 million grant from Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking. The goal of the program is to take the next step for hyperloop by moving to a harmonized implementable hyperloop concept. This is the […]

Hyperloop is a possible solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation by combining sustainability with high speed and long travel distances. So the question arises: How feasible is the integration of hyperloop into the European aviation system as a replacement for short-haul flights? Read the full report here Introduction Hyperloop is a possible solution to […]

The hyperloop system represents a novel mode of transport, offering high-speed and efficient travel by operating in a near-vacuum environment within a tube infrastructure. This paper addresses the critical challenge of passenger boarding in the near-vacuum tubes by using bridge door airlock systems. Read the full report here Introduction The focus of this report lays on optimizing […]

A hyperloop pod and its subsystems produce a significant amount of heat, while being in a low-pressure environment. How can hyperloop designers prevent the critical systems from overheating, crucial for the transport of both cargo and passengers? Read the full report here Introduction A hyperloop pod is a levitating vehicle that travels within a low-pressure […]
