Shared Value Potential of Transporting Cargo via Hyperloop
نویسندگان
چکیده
This research estimates the shared value created by constructing a hypothetical Hyperloop to transport cargo along 300 km in Northern Germany. Following Porter and Kramer (2011, 2012), we identified and evaluated eight factors that create shared value: travel speed, operating costs, safety, noise pollution, air pollution, climate effect/ carbon footprint, separation effect/property efficiency, and maintenance. Using official data compiled by several German institutes and organizations, we conducted comparative analysis to quantify and compare the above-mentioned factors for Hyperloop and over-the-road cargo transport in Germany. Then, we monetized the individual and collective benefits of the shared value created by Hyperloop replacing a significant share of cargo transported by truck. Our findings indicate that the hypothetical Hyperloop project in Northern Germany would create €660–€900 million of shared value annually. Our research method establishes a framework for assessing future transportation projects, such as Hyperloop, and our findings can be generalized to industrialized nations beyond Germany.

Cargo binding activates myosin VIIA motor function in cells.
Myosin VIIA, thought to be involved in human auditory function, is a gene responsible for human Usher syndrome type 1B, which causes hearing and visual loss. Recent studies have suggested that it can move processively if it forms a dimer. Nevertheless, it exists as a monomer in vitro, unlike the well-known two-headed processive myosin Va. Here we studied the molecular mechanism, which is curren...

Articulated liquid cargo vehicles transporting inflammable fuels and dangerous chemical products require special consideration when traveling on urban roads or cruising at highway speeds. The road safety and handling of these kinds of vehicles may be adversely affected when negotiating sharp turns or travelling on slippery roads, which may result in either lateral instabilities or complete roll...

Comparing the count of containers entering and leaving ports with the statistics obtained from railway and ...
متن کاملGenetic optimization of the Hyperloop route through the Grapevine
The Hyperloop is a proposed rapid transportation system ideally suited to linking two metropolitan areas separated by between 200km and 1500km, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco [1]. Employing an elevated steel tube with reduced pressure, the Hyperloop is intended to reduce travel times between these two cities to around 30 minutes. While the majority of the projected route follows the rela...
