The Future of Transportation: Hyperloop

Abstract

The rapid increase in the lifestyle of human has bought up a requirement of faster mode of transportation. This has led to the development of one of the fastest transportations which will be coming in the future called as Hyperloop. Hyperloop is a proposed mode of passenger and other goods transportation that propels a pod like vehicle through a near vacuum tube at more than airline speed. This paper presents a faster mode of transportation by eliminating all different kinds of resistances acting on the current mode of transportation. A controller is used and the commands to it will be sent through a Bluetooth module for the functioning of the system. The pod uses a maglev system for levitation, which operates at a relatively larger height and which becomes more efficient at high speed and it overcomes the friction caused by the present railway tracks. The breaking system is able to slow the pod down and can be used as an emergency braking system. A tube is used where a vacuum is created to overcome the air resistance. Also a motor is used which is attached to the pod and it will generate huge amount of thrust causing the pod to move at a faster speed. This new technology can become a better mode of transportation helping people to travel longer distances in a short span of time. It can also be used to supply goods or any other material such as medicines for any emergency purpose.
