Hyperloop Interior Solutions

Hyperloop transportation has been hypothesized as the fifth pillar of mass transit. This is due to its ability to reduce current travel times between large cities, function in any climate, as well as run entirely on electricity. With this new form of transportation comes complications such as the fears associated with entering a pressurized, windowless tube which can exceed speeds upwards of 1000km/h. Once inside the cabin, users may experience agoraphobia, claustrophobia or generalized fear. Additionally, current economy-class interior solutions have uncomfortable seating, provide sub-par user experiences, as well as lack areas for group seating. By investigating user needs via interviews and user studies, new solutions to these problems were explored. Utilizing this data, curated experience areas, enhanced user comfort, as well as specialized interior elements, were created to provide a holistic, user-focused experience. These learnings can be applied to other forms of autonomous transport, benefiting a broader scope of users.
