Masterclasses
In the 6 masterclasses, the participants and experts will develop solutions for Hyperloop topics.
Masterclass 1: Opportunities for Hyperloop routes in Europe and beyond
In this masterclass we will jointly discover and rate opportunities for hyperloop routes.
After some introductory words about hyperloop technology we will introduce the class to constraints, technology parameters as well as some comparison facts to other modes of transport.
Based on our joint experience realization challenges of major infrastructure projects and other input we will create an evaluation matrix.
Using this matrix for some route ideas (which we will jointly develop) our masterclass will result in a ranking of possible route opportunities – and a list of challenges to be solved.
DOMINIK HÄRTL (BUSINESS DEVELOPER) HARDT HYPERLOOP
OTTMAR GREIN (RAIL SYSTEM SENIOR CONSULTANT) – DB ENGINEERING & CONSULTING
Masterclass 2: One Hyperloop Standard Worldwide: How it will look like?
FRANK BUCHMANN – (HEAD OF DEPARTMENT – DB NETZ AG)
DR. GEORG SCHOBER – (HEAD OF TRANSPORTATION – TÜV SÜD)
Masterclass 3: Development and marketing of a hyperport transport system for standard ship containers to relieve the strain on the traffic infrastructure
Together with infrastructure providers, hyperloop OEMs, logistics service providers and customers from different branches we will put our focus on long-distance connections with hyperloop. We will cover aspects such as technical feasibility, legal requirements and the economic benefits. The China Train (China Belt & Road), connecting China with Europe via rail tracks, will be a promising use case and base for the analysis.

Masterclass 4: MagRail – practical use-cases to enhance existing rail-service
In this joint masterclass of Nevomo, RFI, DB Netz and tba you will learn and practice on MagRail use-cases for rail. You will learn how interoperable MagRail will be with existing railways and how you could enhance your existing railway services by a MagRail upgrade to your network.

Masterclass 5: Future mobility in Europe – Values shaped by Hyperloop
With a comprehensive Hyperloop network in Europe, our perception of tomorrow’s mobility is changing. Hyperloop offers significant benefits, especially with regard to European climate goals and the economic viability of transport infrastructure. Instead of replacing existing modes of transport, the Hyperloop will enhance and be integrated into today’s mobility system. It is important for every player in the mobility industry to understand how such an integrated transport system look like, which modal shifts will result from it and how this will affect the capacities in the existing network.
