Abstract:

Hyperloop is a new surface mode of passenger and freight transport that gained much visibility in the last years. Even though it has been introduced as a concept relatively recently, significant progress has been made so far, with several hyperloop promoters involved in research and development of hyperloop systems around the world. Nevertheless, considering the system complexity, and the absence a of a full-scale-full-capacity demonstration project so far, there are concerns that need to be addressed for what regards the safety and serviceability performance. This study leverages the status of hyperloop development, identifies issues and challenges, and provides policy insights towards testing and implementation. To this end, it builds a taxonomy of issues from scientific research, by analyzing all hyperloop technology developments in literature, applying the methodology developed for the European Commission’s Transport Research and Innovation Monitoring and Information System (TRIMIS).
