“…Description of the hyperloop system components is provided in several studies [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Hyperloop studies focus on specific performance topics, such as aerodynamics [15,18,, safety [8,9,16,19,20,44,45], and energy [7,9,14,[16][17][18]23,28,39,44,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58], while others focus on different hyperloop technologies, such as in the field of pneumatic tube and tunnel systems…”

The hyperloop is an innovative land transport mode for passengers and freight that travels at ultra-high speeds. Lately, different stakeholders have been engaged in the research and development of hyperloop components. The novelty of the hyperloop necessitates certain directions to be followed toward the development and testing of its technological components as well the formation of regulations and planning processes. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive literature review of hyperloop publications to record the current state of progress of hyperloop components, including the pod, the infrastructure, and the communication system, and identify involved EU stakeholders. Blending this information results in future directions. An online search of English-based publications was performed to finally consider 107 studies on the hyperloop and identify 81 stakeholders in the EU. The analysis shows that the hyperloop-related activities are almost equally distributed between Europe (39%) and Asia (38%), and the majority of EU stakeholders are located in Spain (26%) and Germany (20%), work on the traction of the pod (37%) and the tube (28%), and study impacts including safety (35%), energy (33%), and cost (30%). Existing tube systems and testing facilities for the hyperloop lack full-scale tracks, which creates a hurdle for the testing and development of the hyperloop system. The presented analysis and findings provide a holistic assessment of the hyperloop system and its stakeholders and suggest future directions to develop a successful transport system.

“…The main directions of hitherto studies on hyperloop technology have concentrated on technological aspects of propulsion, e.g. the electromagnetic levitation (Soni et al, 2019;Pradhan and Katyayan, 2018;Abdelrahman et al, 2018;Tudor and Paolone, 2019;Lafoz et al, 2020), the dynamics of the HL capsules and low-pressure tubes (Rajendran and Harper, 2020;Niu et al, 2020a;Nowacki et al, 2019;Belova and Vulf, 2016) the HL infrastructure and their resistance to natural catastrophes (Ahmadi et al, 2020;Alexander and Kashani, 2018;Taylor et al, 2016;Heaton, 2017) environmental aspects of the HL technology including energy consumption and utilization of renewable energy sources (Janić, 2020;Nowacki et al, 2019;Sayeed et al, 2018Sayeed et al, -2018Lafoz et al, 2020;Roswall et al, 2018;Rajendran and Harper, 2020) as well as costs and benefits associated with operational, economic, social, and environmental performance of the HL (Janić, 2020;Almujibah et al, 2020;van Goeverden et al, 2018;Rajendran and Harper, 2020). As the deployment of the HL technology gets more and more real, the design of hyperloop station and passenger safety management issues need systematical exploration, however existing studies on these subjects are scarce (Dudnikov, 2019;Taylor et al, 2016;Covell, 2017;Stryhunivska et al, 2020;van Goeverden et al, 2018;Rajendran and Harper, 2020).…”

Due to the innovation of transport means based on hyperloop technology, the correctness of its functioning should be investigated in relation to many technical, economic and operational factors. This paper presents an analysis of the hyperloop technology from the point of view of ensuring safety of passengers while travelling in a low-pressure rail tunnel. The main subject of research was the design of hyperloop station infrastructure and the safety management system that will ensure the safety of passengers at the station in the sphere of atmospheric pressure, despite the station’s interaction with low-pressure tubes during entry and exit of the capsules. The safety management system also includes evacuation of passengers from low-pressure tubes in an emergency situation. The paper reviews the key issues of passenger safety in the hyperloop transport system, which are the source of justified and unfounded people’ fear of using this transport means despite its obvious advantages. The authors’ original achievement is the identification of critical points of passenger safety during their stay in the station area and during their journey through a low-pressure tunnel, as well as the design of a double airlock that can be used in the hyperloop tunnel at repeatable intervals with the aim of evacuating passengers to the atmospheric pressure zone. The designed solution allows to eliminate one of the significant weaknesses of the transport system using low-pressure rail.
