Safety and Certification Guidelines and Demonstration of Safety Components for Hyperloop
Funds one consortium to write hyperloop safety and certification guidelines and lab-test key safety components such as braking and signalling.
One grant is funded from this topic's EUR 3 million lump-sum budget through a single-stage call on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal; the granting authority states it can fund a maximum of one project. The indicative project duration is 36 months, and the consortium is expected to combine hyperloop technology providers, research institutes, rail stakeholders and certification/regulatory expertise.
This topic wants a Research and Innovation Action that develops safety requirements, methods and certification guidelines for hyperloop, a vacuum-tube, magnetic-levitation transport system, working closely with CEN/CLC/JTC20 and other technical standards committees. It also wants functional validation in a laboratory environment of key safety components, including control-command and signalling, braking or traction bogies, and passenger door interfaces, building on the earlier Hyper4Rail project.
