An Animated Simulation System of vehicles driving at 1,200km/h in Hyperloop Tubeway

The HyperTube (or Hyperloop) is a vehicle that travels inside a tube with low-density air, designed to run on a single lane due to the tube’s structure. Maintaining a safe distance between vehicles is crucial because it travels at ultra-high speeds of around 1,000 km/h. The simulation system we have implemented analyzes the impact of a key parameter causing deviations from the planned acceleration or deceleration on maintaining safe inter-vehicle distances. It simulates and animates the acceleration towards around 1,000 km/h and deceleration in real-time, allowing for simultaneous monitoring of multiple vehicles. This system provides real-time observation of vehicle statuses and helps identify points to be improved in the driving control of the physical capsule vehicle model under development, by showing speed changes and inter-vehicle distances. Future development would enable observations of abnormal driving conditions caused by other parameters.
