This document outlines details about a Hyperloop transportation system, including: 1. It lists 5 members and provides a brief description of a Hyperloop as a sealed tube system that can transport people and goods at high speeds through low friction and air resistance. 2. The vision is to reinvent transportation without barriers of distance and time, and the mission is to deliver fast, autonomous, sustainable transportation at scale by 2021. 3. It explains that current transportation options are expensive, slow, and environmentally harmful, and a Hyperloop could provide a faster, cheaper, safer, and more efficient alternative.

- 2. WHAT IS A Hyperloop is a fifth mode of transportation. It will allow the world to transport people and goods inexpensively, safely, and at the speeds never thought possible. A Hyperloop comprises a sealed tube or system of tubes through which a pod may travel free of air resistance or friction conveying people or objects at optimal speed.
- 4. VISION Reinvent transportation to eliminate the barriers of distance and time. MISSION Deliver fast, direct, autonomous, sustainable transportation at scale, beginning with three production systems in service by 2021.
- 5. WHY Transportation (road, water, air, and rail) tend to be some mix of expensive, slow, and environmentally harmful. Road travel is particularly problematic, given carbon emissions and the fluctuating price of oil. As the environmental dangers of energy consumption continue to worsen, mass transit will be crucial in the years to come.
- 6. WHY A growing global economy require faster, cheaper, safer and more efficient transportation modes. Our roads, airports, and ports are congested. We haven’t had a new form of transport in 100 years, and we’re due for one, especially one that is ultra-fast, on-demand, direct, emission-free, energy efficient, quiet and has a smaller footprint than other high-speed transport modes. Hyperloop is additive to existing forms of transportation and will integrate seamlessly with the transport ecosystem.
- 8. WHERE CAME FROM? The idea of travelling through a vacuum tube has been around for more than 100 years. In fact, some of the very first underground railways in the UK ran using an air pressure system.
- 9. ADVANTAGES 1. A tremendous saving in travelling times, both for passengers, as well as in case of freight transport. 2. A significant reduction in cost if the technology is adopted, especially when compared with alternatives such as bullet trains. 3. Significant reduction in energy consumption, and also reduced pollution. 4. Has the potential to revolutionize the entire transport sector. 5. A boost to economic productivity and GDP growth.
- 10. DISADVANTAGES Human factor considerations: Remember that when you’re shuttling through the Hyperloop, you’re speeding through a sealed iron tunnel, in a narrow, sealed, windowless capsule at almost the speed of sound. There is supposed to be a lot of vibration and jostling. Such an experience may be frightening for some. Possibility of technical glitches and shortage of power: It may be possible that the Hyperloop may break down on route, or any of its machinery may malfunction. In such a case, how will the repair team do its job? It has to enter a sealed tunnel, which is partially vacuumed.
