A Scientific and Economic Analysis of the Hyperloop as it Pertains to Mass Transportation
By Tim Altman
It's a master thesis by Thompson, Peter J
2019, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Physics.
This thesis discusses the technological and economic feasibility of the Hyperloop as it pertains to mass transportation. The Hyperloop transportation system as it has been proposed by Elon Musk in 2013 requires several technological advancements in vacuum and propulsion technology before a system such as this can even be built. Along with technological feasibility there is a great financial burden associated with these kinds of systems. As seem in High-speed rail across the world, the political, economic, and geographical challenges these systems face can delay projects for decades as seem in the California High-Speed Rail project. It is thus the conclusion of this these, that the technological readiness level for this project is not ready to be adopted for commercial use and if it were, the countries to adopt this system would have to allocate a large amount of time and resources to build the system.
