Management of goods flow in hyperloop transportation system

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the Hyperloop system in terms of freight transportation management, aiming to improve the efficiency of cargo transport while supporting sustainable development goals. The research evaluates material flow and simulation processes to highlight the advantages of Hyperloop over existing transportation modes. Design/methodology/approach: the study employs advanced simulation tools such as FlexSim and Archicad, commonly used in design and logistics analysis. These tools enabled precise modeling and in-depth analysis of the Hyperloop transportation system, focusing on operational efficiency and identifying potential bottlenecks. Findings: The results demonstrate that the Hyperloop system can simultaneously handle both passengers and cargo according to a predefined schedule. The simulation model revealed the system's capacity, the load on the logistics infrastructure, the integration of passenger and cargo traffic and the key challenges associated with coordinating these flows to minimize potential downtime. Research limitations/implications: while the study provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing the Hyperloop system, it is limited to simulation-based analyses. Future research could include real-world testing and broader integration of various environmental and economic factors. Practical implications: The findings of the study provide practical insights for the implementation of Hyperloop technology in logistics and freight transport. They form a foundation for stakeholders to design efficient, sustainable and reliable transportation systems. Originality/value: This study contributes to the development of Hyperloop technology, highlights its potential to revolutionize freight logistics and provides a methodological framework for future development and research in this field.
