Analysis of the Effectiveness of a Freight Transport Vehicle at High Speed in a Vacuum Tube (Hyperloop Transport System)
David S. Pellicer,
Emilio Larrodé
Abstract:This paper shows the development of a numerical analysis model, which enables the calculation of the cargo transport capacity of a vehicle that circulates through a vacuum tube at high speed, whose effectiveness in transport is analyzed. The simulated transportation system is based on vehicles moving in vacuum tubes at high speed, a concept commonly known as Hyperloop, but assuming the vehicles for cargo containers. For the specific vehicle proposed, which does not include a compressor and levitates on magnets… Show more
