Master Thesis - Energy Analysis of a Hyperloop System
A train run in an evacuated tube, the so called “Hyperloop”, offers great chances to decarbonize long-distance mobility and to decrease travel time massively. Within a student thesis (Bachelor / Semester / Master Thesis), an existing model should be refined. Findings should lead to a publication.

Current state of the research project:
- An Explorative Semester Thesis has been Done to Define the Key Aspects of a Hyperloop System.
- The Existing Hyperloop Model is Based on a MagLev (Magnetic Levitation) Train that is Operated within an Evacuated Tube.
- The Model is Set Up in Python.

- Refine Existing Hyperloop Energy Demand Model
- Compare Energy Analysis Results with other Means of Transportation (Inter-City Express, MagLev train, Airplane, etc.)
- Compare own Results with Literature (--> Detailed Literature Review)
- Discuss Feasibility of Hyperloop System from an Energy Perspective
- For MT: Refine / Set up Airplane Energy Demand Model as Comparison to Hyperloop Model
