• CONCLUSION

• Rising traffic congestion is an inescapable condition in large and growing
metropolitan areas across the world, from Los Angeles to Tokyo, from Cairo to Sao
Paolo. Peak-hour traffic congestion is an inherent result of the way modern societies
operate. It stems from the widespread desires of people to pursue certain goals that
inevitably overload existing roads and transit systems every day. But everyone hates
traffic congestion, and it keeps getting worse, in spite of attempted remedies.
• Conventional modes of transportation:
1. Rail-relatively slow and expensive.
2. Road-relatively slow.
3. Water-relatively slow.
4. Air-expensive.

INTRODUCTION
• The Hyperloop is a high-speed transportation system.
• Till now, we are using four modes of transportation i.e. Roadway, Ship, railway, airway. Now
to add to this, we have the fifth mode of transportation i.e. Hyperloop.
• The creator of Hyperloop is Elon Musk, who is also the CEO of Pay Pal, Space X and &
Tesla
• Motors.
• There are two main components in the Hyperloop: Tube and Capsule.
• Hyperloop consists of a low pressure tube with capsules that are transported at both low
and high speeds throughout the length of the tube.
• The capsules will be powered by solar power.
• The hyperloop will also be capable of generating power.

The graphic above shows, current forms of travel not only take longer in transit, but also require
more time waiting around. The Hyperloop system will cut out a lot of the time consuming parts of
traveling, like trekking to the airport and waiting in long ticket and baggage lines.
This is because Hyperloop stations will be built in city centres and will include technologies that
make loading and unloading passengers extremely easy. There’s going to be autonomous
ticketing systems and you’re going to have an absolute elevator experience that is going to
seamlessly deliver you to your destination. Passenger pods will be comfortable and passengers
will get to keep their luggage with them at all times.

HISTORY
• First Idea proposed by Elon Musk in 2012 and he declared it as open source.
• Need for 5th mode of transportation
• He invited many companies for Research and Investment
• In 2012 this idea was only on the paper
• In 2013-2014 he created the firm ‘Hyperloop’.
• Created a 3 Km Prototype in Nevada for testing his idea in 2016 and the result was positive.
• The Indian government wants the components and technology of the Hyperloop to be made entirely in India.
• There will be 2600 routes in 90 countries for the hyperloop.
• While 35 routes have been confirmed.
• Out of the 35 routes, 4 routes are included in India.

TUBE INTRODUCTION
• Tube will be used for going and coming from and to a particular destination.
• The tube is made of steel.
• The Tube Will Be Supported by Pillars.
• Two tubes will be welded together, side by side configured to allow the capsules to
travel in both directions.
• Solar panels will cover the top of the tubes in order to provide power to the system.
• Magnets will be fitted inside the tube.
• Minimum amount of air will be present inside the tube.
• The size of the entire tube is of 2 m.

CAPSULE INTRODUCTION
Capsule will be made of the following components:
1. Inlet
2. Compressor fan
3. Air Storage
4. Compressor Motor
5. Firewall
6. Seating (2x14)
7. Suspension
8. Batteries
• Sealed capsules Work On Solar Power.
• The maximum height is 6.11 ft. (1.10 m).
• The maximum width is 4.43 ft. (1.35 m).
• Max Speed (1200Km/H).
• Average Speed (950km/h).
• The capsules are accelerated via a magnetic linear.
• The capsules are supported via air bearings that operate using a compressed air reservoir .
• The capsule will work on air compressors and electric motor.

TUBE/CAPSULE SPECIFICATION
There are two versions of the tube and capsule:
• Passenger Version
• Passenger + Vehicle Version

• For traveling at high speeds, the greatest power requirement is normally to
overcome air resistance.
• Aerodynamic drag increases with the square of speed, and thus the power
requirement increases with the cube of speed.
• For example, to travel twice as fast a vehicle must overcome four times the
aerodynamic resistance, and input eight times the power.

• Just as aircraft climb to high altitudes to travel through less dense air, Hyperloop encloses
the capsules in a reduced pressure tube.
• The pressure of air in Hyperloop is about 1/6 the pressure of the atmosphere on Mars.
• This is an operating pressure of 100 Pascal’s, which reduces the drag force of the air by 1,000
times relative to sea level conditions and would be equivalent to flying above 150,000 feet
altitude
• The capsules are separated within the tube by approximately 23 miles (37 km) on average
during operation.
• The capsules are supported via air bearings that operate using a compressed air reservoir and
aerodynamic lift.

PROPULSION
• Linear accelerators are constructed along the length of the tube at various locations to
accelerate the capsules.
• Stators are located on the capsules to transfer momentum to the capsules via the
linear accelerators.

AUTONOMOUS HYPERLOOP;AI
• Artificial Intelligence Is Changing How Everything Works Around Us.
• With The Implementation Of A.I. i.e. Autonomous Transportation In Hyperloop , It Wil
Be T he Biggest turning point In Technology. There Will Be No Driver.
• Driverless Hyperloop Will Be A Gateway A.I, Humans Will Need To Trust The
Reliability And Safety Of An A.I System For A Complex Task.
• With The Help Of Algorithms & Software , The Capsule Will Be Controlled.
• With the help of computer system .The capsule will be directed as where to go(from
one point to another).

HOW IT WORKS?
• Build A Tube In A Closed Surface.
• Remove The Pressure From That Tube.
• Attach magnets inside the tube and capsule.
• So that it Levitates That Capsule Using Magnets.
• Then We Use An All Electric Motor To Propel It.
• The entire system will run on solar power.
• Work On Air Fiction.
• E.g. Air Hockey Game.
• Create Negative Pressure.
• Like a Vacuum.
• But will maintain Normal Presser Inside The Capsule.
• Capsule Will Run On Negative Pressure.
• To make negative pressure there will be pipes in the tube.

ITS USE IN INDIA
• India Is On 4th Position On Transportation Network In The World.
• Introducing Modern Modes Will Be Beneficial.
• It Is The Fastest And Latest Mode Of Transportation Which Will Benefit The Public

ROUTES
• Four Routes have been selected in India.

Bengaluru to Thiruvananthapuram
1. 736 KM.
2. 41 Minutes

Delhi To Mumbai (Jaipur , Indoor),
1. 1416 KM.
2. 55 Minutes.

Bengaluru To Chennai,
1. 334 Km.
2. 20 Minutes.

Passengers may enter and exit Hyperloop at stations located either at the ends of the
tube, or branches along the tube length.

ADVANTAGES▪ This Is The Fastest Ground Based Transportation Technology.
▪ It Save s The Fuel (Diesel , Petrol). More shoreline could be opened up for human use.
▪ No Noise Pollution.
▪ 100% Clean:- Eco- Friendly
▪ It Is One Cheapest Modes Of Transportation.
▪ Consumes Very Little Energy.
▪ Sustainable (Uses Solar Energy).
▪ Runs trough the median of existing highways.
▪ Cargo could ship faster and more efficiently.
▪ More job opportunities could open up.- Being able to travel to and from cities in a matter of
minutes could open up all kinds of new business opportunities.
▪ For example, the Hyperloop would enable a person to live in a city like L.A., but work in San
Francisco. This means companies could hire from a broader talent pool and workers could have
more employment opportunities. When the Hyperloop is a reality, businesses will grow, economies will
flourish, communities will thrive, and lives will be transformed. It will make the playing field level for
everyone, no matter where they live.
• The Hyperloop will connect us to the people that matter most more frequently. While the internet and
virtual reality enable us to connect with friends and family to some degree, there's still nothing quite like
seeing someone you love in person. Some connections just can't be made virtually. No matter how realistic
VR becomes, you can't hug a hologram.

LIMITATIONS
• Due To G-force There Can Be Some Issues.
• Fully Closed Tube. Not enough Space.
• It Will Only Travel From One Point To Another Point.
• Does Not Stop In Between.
• A number of economists and transportation experts have expressed the belief that
the US$6 billion price tag dramatically understates the cost of designing,
developing, constructing and testing an all-new form of transportation.

CONCLUSION
• As of 2018, there is much need for the implementation of the hyperloop project in
India as it will solve many on going problems, such as over populated train
carriages, due to which people risk their lives and sit on top of train coaches.
• It will greatly reduce the travel time and cost, making this mode of transportation
available to the general public such as the middle class and lower classes as they
cannot afford to travel by special trains or air.
• With a positive approach, the Indian government has also agreed and showed a lot
of interest and is cooperating with the hyperloop team for speedy development of
the infrastructure so the common man can benefit and greatly reduce the overall load
on the present preferred modes of transportation.It is new concept so there is some future work that will be required for
development of this project
