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: Feasibility Study of a Bridge Door Airlock Design at Hyperloop Stations
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 […]
