Hyperloop Project to Connect Vizag and Bhogapuram Airport

Deccan Chronicle  

Visakhapatnam: Some senior engineers here are engaged in a plan to develop a hyper-loop rail network by using magnetic levitation technology so as to provide a seamless connection between the city and the Greenfield Bhogapuram Airport. Hyperloop technology represents the next generation of sustainable transportation, featuring passenger pods that travel at near-supersonic speeds within low-pressure tubes, which drastically cuts down travel time. “This initiative aims to enhance regional connectivity, stimulate economic growth by significantly reducing transit times, and solidify Visakhapatnam’s status as a global hub for technological and industrial innovation,” Prof Rao said here on Monday. The hyper-loop system relies on advanced technologies like Magnetic Levitation, vacuum tubes, linear electric motors and sophisticated safety and control devices. Unlike metro-focused initiatives, this advanced technology can be scaled and designed for intercity and longer routes, establishing Vizag as a leader in next-generation transportation, Prof Rao said.
