Article: Dynamic Amplification in a Full-Scale Hyperloop System: A Finite Element Study into the Effects of Tube Dimensions and Materials on Resonance
Read the full article hereThe hyperloop aims to become a revolutionary mode of transport, with a maximum envisioned speed of 1200 km/h. However, these speeds, which are much greater than a typical high-speed rail, can induce resonance when the pod’s forcing frequency matches one of the tube’s natural frequencies. This potential resonance can accelerate wear […]
Article: A Network Design and Discrete-Event Simulation Approach to European Hyperloop Substitution of Short-Haul Passenger Air Travel
Hyperloop is frequently proposed as a low-emission alternative for short-haul aviation, but to determine whether it is a viable substitute, the capacity of a hyperloop network must be assessed. Existing literature either analyzes small networks or does not model the full operations, leaving a gap in understanding system-level feasibility at European scale. In particular, it […]
Report: learning lessons from high-speed rail to guide the future implementation of hyperloop in Europe
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 […]
Hyper4Rail consortium has kicked off with €2.8 million EU grant
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 […]
Report: The Community Acceptance of the Hyperloop Infrastructure
What does community acceptance of the hyperloop infrastructure entail, considering the likely first alignment, characteristics, and regulations? For the full report, click the button below! Read the full report here The hyperloop is a possible solution to reduce greenhouse gasses emerging from transportation as it combines sustainability with both high speed and great travel distance. However, the […]
Evacuating the Hyperloop
The controlled and near-vacuum environment of the Hyperloop limits the exit points of the system. To ensure passenger safety, effective evacuation methods need to be implemented. Read all about Hyperloop evacuation in this article!
Regulating the Hyperloop
A new mode of transport needs standardisation, legislation and certification. Read all about regulating the Hyperloop.
