Hyperloop, the new mode of transportation

The global human population is growing, world is getting more urbanized and traffic and crowded streets have already become a sad reality of our day to day life. No new mode of transportation has been developed in last couple of decades to address this problem and it is the time for a radical change. This prestation will talk about the mission of the Virgin Hyperloop and its approach to tackle this problem. The overall system and pod architecture will be discussed briefly. Finally, the history of linear propulsion systems developed to move Virgin Hyperloop pods will be presented.
