“…Indraneel et al designed an experimentally magnetic brake and levitation system for the hyperloop pod. 30,31 Pradhan and Katyayan created a pod called "OrcaPod" with the inductrack levitation kind and analyzed its free vibrations behavior assuming OrcaPod with a four DOF half-vehicle model. 32 Using the Root Locus method, Galluzzi et al analyzed the stability of a small pod equipped with electrodynamic levitation in the hyperloop system.…”

Hyperloop, a very high-speed transportation system including a pod transporting the passengers in a tube, forms the core debate in numerous recent investigations. The present paper, furthering the current advanced findings, proposes a novel hybrid levitation including Electro-Dynamic Suspension (EDS) and air cushions for the pod in the hyperloop system. It also presents a vibrational model for the hybrid levitation pod to predict the vibration behavior of the pod in accelerating and braking maneuvers. In this regard, an industrial pod is designed conceptually by performing preliminary calculations. Via CFD simulations in Ansys Fluent software, we hold forth a nonlinear dynamic model for the air cushions. Then, the paper analyzes a 3-DOF vibration model of the pod and verifies it by comparing the related results with obtained ones from the MSc ADAMS software. Afterward, the mentioned vibration model is developed into a 7-DOF model to predict the vibration behavior of the pod in accelerating and braking maneuvers. Also, the governing dynamic equations of the system are derived and numerically solved. Finally, the vibration behavior of the pod in different accelerating and braking conditions is investigated.

“…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.

Hyperloop is a proposed very high-speed ground transportation system for both passenger and freight that has the potential to be revolutionary, and which has attracted much attention in the last few years. The concept was introduced in its modern form relatively recently, yet substantial progress has been made in the past years, with research and development taking place globally, from several Hyperloop companies and academics. This study examined the status of Hyperloop development and identified issues and challenges by means of a systematic review that analyzed 157 documents from the Scopus database on Hyperloop since 2014. Following that, a taxonomy of topics from scientific research was built under different physical and operational clusters. The findings could be of help to transportation academics and professionals who are interested in the developments in the field, and form the basis for policy decisions for the future implementation of Hyperloop.
