Abstract
Technological developments have increased the possibilities, comfort, reliability, and speed of the transportation network in the world. Today, various transport vehicles try to meet the speed, economy, and safety demands of passengers. However, as the passengers' demand increase depending on the population, the requirement for innovation in this field increases. Various studies have been carried out to determine the benefit-cost ratio of Hyperloop, an alternative developed to meet the speed requirement in this respect. The decision to build the Hyperloop anywhere else in the world depends on the system's characteristics, such as sustainability, economy, safety, and response to passenger demands. In this study, Hyperloop and existing systems were compared with comfort, safety, and cost considering these criteria. It was focused on the commercial planes, Maglev, and high-speed train features, as they are similar to Hyperloop in these comparisons. Based on the relevant data, it has been reached that the Hyperloop system could prevent it from becoming a widespread public transport vehicle because of its low passenger capacity and expensive construction and operation.
Highlights
The movement of people and goods has increased day by day with the growth of the world population
Estimated project costs according to routes planned for Hyperloop and costs of existing Maglev systems are shown in this study
When these fees are distributed to 28 people traveling in a capsule, the high cost will prevent the spread of this system and serve the society whose income is above a certain level
Summary
The movement of people and goods has increased day by day with the growth of the world population. Hyperloop was introduced to a high-speed tube transportation system supported by Elon Musk in 2013. A concept called Hyperloop that using magnetic rails in a vacuum-sealed tunnel with a capacity of 28 passengers in each capsule was proposed by Elon Musk in 2013.
