However, that situation will start to change as land registries adopt Blockchain magine buying property, then going out for the day and SCANRAIL1/SHUTTERSTOCK coming back to find someone else has moved in and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it. I Having the right and opportunity to own land and property is a privilege mainly taken for granted by those who have it. However, the World Bank estimates that 70 per cent of the global population lacks access to land or property titling, meaning they could ‘buy’ land or property, only to lose it to someone else, with no way to prove their claim. This situation restricts opportunity, mobility and individual liberty – people have to literally stay on their land the whole time to defend their ownership – and it makes economic growth, inbound investment and real-estate development impossible. Having a legal description of an asset and a watertight record of its ownership is a huge undertaking which is beyond the means of many governments in the third world.

    Hyperloop : Cutting Through the Hype Roseline Walker HYPERLOOP: CUTTING THROUGH the HYPE

    Hyperloop : Cutting through the hype Roseline Walker HYPERLOOP: CUTTING THROUGH THE HYPE 2 HYPERLOOP: CUTTING THROUGH THE HYPE Hyperloop: Cutting through the hype Abstract This paper critically examines Hyperloop, a new mode of transportation where magnetically levitated pods are propelled at speeds of up to 760mph within a tube, moving on-demand and direct from origin to destination. The concept was first proposed by Elon Musk in a White Paper ‘Hyperloop Alpha’ in 2013 with a proposed route between Los Angeles and San Francisco. A literature review has identified a number of other companies and countries who are conducting feasibility studies with the aim to commercialise Hyperloop by 2021. Hyperloop is a faster alternative to existing transnational rail and air travel and would be best applied to connect major cities to help integrate commercial and labour markets; or airports to fully utilise national airport capacity. Hyperloop’s low-energy potential could help alleviate existing and growing travel demand sustainably by helping to reduce congestion and offering a low carbon alternative to existing transport modes. However, there are potential issues related to economics, safety and passenger comfort of Hyperloop that require real-world demonstrations to overcome. The topography in the UK presents a key challenge for the implementation of Hyperloop and its success is more likely oversees in countries offering political /economic support and flat landscapes. This paper offers an independent analysis to determine the validity of commercial claims in relation to travel time; capacity; land implications; energy demand; costs; safety; and passenger comfort and highlights some key gaps in knowledge which require further research.

Department of Energy |January 2021 [ This page is intentionally left blank] Effect of Hyperloop Technologies on Electric Grid and Transportation Energy | Page i Department of Energy |January 2021 Executive Summary Hyperloop technology, initially proposed in 2013 as an innovative means for intermediate- range or intercity travel, is now being developed by several companies. Proponents point to potential benefits for both passenger travel and freight transport, including time-savings, convenience, quality of service and, in some cases, increased energy efficiency. Because the system is powered by electricity, its interface with the grid may require strategies that include energy storage. The added infrastructure, in some cases, may present opportunities for grid- wide system benefits from integrating hyperloop systems with variable energy resources.

    Statement of Josh Giegel, Chief Executive Officer Virgin Hyperloop

    Statement of Josh Giegel, Chief Executive Officer Virgin Hyperloop before the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, United States House of Representatives May 6, 2021 Chairman DeFazio, Chairman Payne, Ranking Member Graves, Ranking Member Crawford, and distinguished Members of the Subcommittee: Thank you for the opportunity to testify today about the exciting work we are doing at Virgin Hyperloop to bring the transportation network into the 21st Century. My name is Josh Giegel, and I serve as CEO of Virgin Hyperloop. In 2014, I co-founded the company when hyperloop was just an idea on a whiteboard in a garage. Today, we have approximately 300 employees and are the leading hyperloop company in the world. Last year we added to that leadership when we became the first hyperloop system to safely carry human passengers, conducting that test on our full-scale operational prototype facilities. The Innovative Hyperloop Technology First, let me briefly explain hyperloop technology. The term “hyperloop” is shorthand for a high- speed surface transportation system utilizing magnetic levitation to move vehicles, or “PODs” as we have named them, within a low-pressure enclosure, while the POD is pressurized to normal atmospheric conditions – much like a commercial aircraft. The low-pressure environment all but eliminates aerodynamic drag on the vehicle, which allows a comfortable passenger experience at very high speeds while maintaining those speeds with significantly less energy than other modes of transportation. Transportation is on demand and direct to destination, which combined with the system’s high speed, means dramatically reduced travel times.

    2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games Candidature Populous and Egis Chosen to Support the Paris Bid

    7th April 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games Candidature Populous and Egis chosen to support the Paris bid At the conclusion of an extensive consultation period undertaken by the Paris 2024 Bid Committee, international sports and entertainment design practice Populous and Egis, an international group offering engineering, project structuring and operations services, have been selected for the provision of technical assistance in the development of plans for 38 Olympic and Paralympic venues for the Paris 2024 bid. The scope of this partnership, in association with ISC, a sport and culture consulting agency, will include ensuring existing venues are ready for the scale and needs of Olympic and Paralympic events; as well as designing both new and temporary venues and facilities, allowing Paris 2024 to deliver successful and truly memorable Olympic and Paralympic Games. With unique major events experience comprising involvement in 13 Olympic and 7 Paralympic Games, including London 2012, Rio 2016 and Sydney ©Paris2024/KMSP 2000, Populous are also the only firm to have designed 3 main Olympic Stadia. Populous Senior Principal Ben Vickery said, “This is a great opportunity for Paris to showcase a beautiful international city and its proud sporting history.

The Games will build on the history and identity of Paris, as well its experience in hosting the climax of the world-renown Tour de France, to create an unforgettable experience. The architectural design for both new and temporary venues and facilities will seek to shape and integrate sporting spectacles in the city’s urban landscape whist supporting Paris 2024’s commitment to be the most sustainable Games ever. As part of the bid, Populous and Egis has worked in association with ISC, a sport and culture consulting agency on plans to ensure the existing venues are ready for the scale and needs of Olympic and Paralympic events.
  • Hyperloop System Optimization

    Hyperloop System Optimization

    Hyperloop System Optimization Philippe G. Kirschen*, Edward Burnell† Virgin Hyperloop, Los Angeles, CA 90021 Hyperloop system design is a uniquely coupled problem because it involves the simultaneous design of a complex, high-performance vehicle and its accompanying infrastructure. In the clean-sheet design of this new mode of high- speed mass transportation there is an excellent opportunity for the application of rigorous system optimization techniques. This work presents a system optimization tool, HOPS, that has been adopted as a central component of the Virgin Hyperloop design process. We discuss the choice of objective function, the use of a convex optimization technique called geometric programming, and the level of modeling fidelity that has allowed us to capture the system’s many intertwined, and often recursive, design relationships. We also highlight the ways in which the tool has been used. Because organizational confidence in a model is as vital as its technical merit, we close with discussion of the measures taken to build stakeholder trust in HOPS. I. Introduction II.

    BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON IHA 2016 - ARCHITECT Frankfurt/Main, November 2, 2016 BIG Bjarke Ingels Group Architect of “VIA 57 West” – winner of the International Highrise Award 2016 Office profile: BIG is a Copenhagen and New York based group of architects, designers, builders, and thinkers operating within the fields of architecture, urbanism, interior design, landscape design, product design, research and development. The office is currently involved in a large number of projects throughout Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. BIG's architecture emerges out of a careful analysis of how contemporary life constantly evolves and changes. BIG believes that in order to deal with today's challenges, architecture can profitably move into a field that has been largely unexplored. A pragmatic utopian architecture that steers clear of the petrifying pragmatism of boring boxes and the naïve utopian ideas of digital formalism. Like a form of programmatic alchemy they create architecture by mixing conventional ingredients such as living, leisure, working, parking and shopping. By hitting the fertile overlap between pragmatic and utopia, the architects once again find the freedom to change the surface of our planet, to better fit contemporary life forms. Bjarke Ingels started BIG Bjarke Ingels Group in 2005 after co-founding PLOT Architects in 2001 and working at OMA in Rotterdam. Through a series of award- winning design projects and buildings, Bjarke has developed a reputation for designing buildings that are as programmatically and technically innovative as they are cost and resource conscious. Bjarke has received numerous awards and honors, including Wall Street Journal's Innovator of the Year Award, the Danish Crown Prince's Culture Prize in 2011, the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 2004, and the ULI Award for Excellence in 2009.
