Hyperloop systems - Analysis and Definition of Safety Requirements cenelec:proj:84169

Scope

This document analyses and defines the safety requirements for Hyperloop systems. It reviews existing standards and practices from rail, aerospace, and tunnel sectors to identify relevant safety parameters such as speed, pressure, structural resistance, and fire protection.
The document assesses critical operational and evacuation scenarios to ensure safe design and performance under normal and emergency conditions.
It proposes technical safety requirements covering infrastructure, vehicle design, operations, and reliability for both passenger and freight systems. Additionally, it outlines a common approach for hazard identification, risk assessment, and verification methods, providing recommendations for harmonised safety procedures, maintenance, and certification to support the safe deployment of Hyperloop systems.
