Abstract

Hyperloop is proposed as a solution to the current limitation on ground transportation. Rolling and aerodynamic problems, that limit large speeds for traditional High-Speed Rail or maglev systems, are overcome using a hyperloop solution. This study shows that hyperloop systems can be optimum in terms of energy efficiency in medium-distance routes. Furthermore, it is stated that increasing the traction power on the vehicle and reducing it in the infrastructure greatly enhances scalability for long distances. Also, the use of aerospace pressure levels, instead of space ones, reduces infrastructure maintenance costs, weakens the requirements of the pumps, and increases safety. To determine the performance of hyperloop with respect to other means of transport, energy consumption, and travel time estimation are performed. This study leads to consider the proposed hyperloop concept as nearly as efficient as a train but with the operating times of a plane.
