Walter Neu - IHT 1st International Conference on Ultra-High-Speed Transportation March 2nd, 2021 HYPERION Framework investments in cross border connections appear limited and no operators with international scope target this market at present. The main challenges of HSR are currently: • Difficulties to build more HSR in intra EU cross border (interoperability in operation, construction); • Lack of European wide concept for HSR, too national oriented, necessity to develop a European core network; • Integration within a seamless door-to-door operation (HS stations not properly connected with public transport in the middle of nowhere). HYPERION ambition HYPERION strives for a radical new paradigm and technology on high-speed transportation which will be developed within a Pan-European context from the very beginning, therefore bypassing the traditional problems of technologies derived of national developments such as the non-yet interoperable European railways systems. The innovation setup of HYPERION in terms of high-speed infrastructure relies on having a European wide system without interoperability barriers, very focussed in the business cases point to point, with a European dimension and therefore without the traditional national-devoted vision of the HSR. Looking at a selection of research facilities in Europe and globally it becomes evident that only few facilities are in operation with various large-scale activities being planned outside of Europe (Table 4). However, none are capable of fully delivering the necessary environment for Hyperloop research to be performed for real life application. The design study therefor caters to the need to establish a large-scale full-scale Hyperloop research facility within the high-speed technology sector. Thus, the design study would support a European endeavour to keep up with the technological development globally and establish an innovative research facility which is currently not present at any place globally.
