Abstract

This study investigates the feasibility of integrating Hyperloop technology with hydrogen fuel systems. The primary objective was to evaluate how Hyperloop infrastructure can incorporate hydrogen refueling stations to optimize transport efficiency and sustainability. The research utilized simulation models developed with ArchiCAD and FlexSim software to analyze the integration of Hyperloop cargo and passenger transport with hydrogen refueling processes. The study included detailed simulations of Hyperloop operations and refueling logistics, focusing on safety, efficiency, and the potential for reducing carbon emissions. Key parameters such as capsule speed, refueling times, and infrastructure requirements were analyzed. Results indicated that Hyperloop technology can significantly enhance transport efficiency, particularly for high-value and time-sensitive goods, while hydrogen refueling stations offer a sustainable energy solution with considerable potential for reducing environmental impact. The findings demonstrate that integrating hydrogen refueling stations into the Hyperloop system can improve operational efficiency and sustainability. However, challenges remain in optimizing refueling processes and infrastructure development. Future research should address these challenges and explore additional AI-based optimization techniques to enhance the overall system performance. This research is especially useful for urban planners, transportation engineers, and policymakers aiming to develop efficient, sustainable transportation systems that incorporate cutting-edge technology like Hyperloop and hydrogen refueling infrastructure.
