Introduction

Evolution of Transportation System Through Sections

The devlopmet of industrialised modes of tranporation have succeeded in incrementally slashing travel time and bringing about social and economic benifits, although we have become reliant on a system dangerously dependant on fossil fuels.

Transport matters for the human culture. Its performance characteristics, shape settlement patterns. Its infrastructures transform the landscape. Transport system strongly influences the pattern of life around it.

Evolution in the mode of transportation affect this day to day pattern in common lives, throughout the history there are several examples where introduction of a new mode of transportation improves the quality of life. In this modern age cities are experiencing resurgence in population growth, which in turn is pushing transport systems to simultaneously expand and improve. The resulting effects have led to intercity travel becoming faster, cheaper, safer and increasingly more convenient.

Introduction of New Transportation System

With the introduction of the hyper loop as a 5th mode of transportation, a newfound interest has been sparked regarding the promising future of transportation and mass transit. This thesis is a pursuit of an understanding on the integration of hyper loop with other existing modes of transport and how it will change the phase of mass transit in upcoming future

The Leading Problem

Limited Energy Resources Dependent on Fossil Fuel

The devlopmet of industrialised modes of tranporation have succeeded in incrementally slashing travel time and bringing about social and economic benifits, although we have become reliant on a system dangerously dependant on fossil fuels.

If we keep burning fossil fuels at our current rate, it is generally estimated that all our fossil fuels will be depleted by 2060.

Over 70% of the growth in global energy demand was met with oil, natural gas and coal, resulting in energy related carbon emissions rising by 1.7%.

The Leading Problem Dependent on Fossil Fuel Transportation Sector

The devlopmet of industrialised modes of tranporation have succeeded in incrementally slashing travel time and bringing about social and economic benifits, although we have become reliant on a system dangerously dependant on fossil fuels.

We need a system that will build not only for today’s transit needs, but also to address climate concerns for tomorrow.

X Depletion of resources

A historic threshold was crossed in 2008, with half the world's population residing in cities. Eight years later, that proportion had grown to exceed 54 percent.By 2050 ,70% of world population will live in cities

Motivation for the Project Transportation Sector

Transportation has become a critical economic factor both directly and as a means of providing the goods and services necessary for the foundation of economic life. It is central to leading a comfortable life in the cities and being part of urban life. Transportation is used for every aspect of life from earning the daily bread to helping become a part of the social circle. The future of transportation is about striving towards environment-friendly, integrated, automated and personalized travel on-demand.

Technology

Integration of fifth mode of Transportation “Hyperloop”

Hyperloop is an ultra-high-speed ground transportation system for passenger and cargo proposed as a concept by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, in a white paper back in 2013.

The system consists of sealed and partially evacuated tubes, connecting mobility hubs in large metropolitan areas, and pressurized vehicles, usually called pods, which can move at very high speeds, thanks to contactless levitation and propulsion systems as well as to the low aerodynamic drag. With this system the door-to-door travel time on medium-range distances can be considerably reduced compared to current connections.

Moreover, with fully-electric operations the system aims at being climate-neutral.

Why Hyperloop ?

The Hyperloop uses the technologies used in aerospace and ground transportation to deliver an efficient and environmentally friendly mode of transport It is intended to be powered through renewable energy generated through solar panels mounted on the tubes .Hyperloop is intended to provide an environmentally sustainable mode of transport which is at least 3 to 6 times more energy efficient than a traditional airplane. It is designed to provide an aerodynamic system such that the pods resemble the movement of aircraft instead of a train, the trajectory of which would be on ground level.

Integration of fifth mode of Transportation “Hyperloop” Aim

Tubes System

The primary objective of the research is to merge the idea of hyperloop with the existing transportation system and improve the overall quality of the modes of travel and transition between them. Many people consider hyperloop to be a theoretical concept which will fail, but numerous companies are spending fortune to turn this concept into reality as they believe it will be a key will lead us to the future.

Work out our vision on what the Hyperloop will fundamentally be like and how the main concept will work.

The aim is to design a multi modal transit hub with the integration of hyperloop station, which will contribute to the future modes of travel, and transition.

Vison

Growing global economy requires a faster, cheaper , safer and more efficient mode of transport. Our road, airports and ports are congested. We haven’t had a new major form of transportation for decades now. We need an ultra fast, on-demand, direct, emission free, energy efficient, quiet- high speed mode of transport.Hyperloop is that new form of transport.

The thesis will focus on how the development of hyperloop will merge with the existing modes of transport to improve the overall quality of the modes of travel and swift transition between them.

The development of hyperloop will improve the transition between cities, eliminating the short domestic flight and will allow people to move more freely.

Understanding (Connecting Corridor)

The main objective of this exercise is to understand the financial aspects of the project and how, where and when this project could be made into reality.

I build an imaginary corridor connecting all high economic states of India and By taking the La-San Francisco corridor business model as example ,I estimated different aspects of the project .This will give me a brief idea that how hyperloop can be built or improved in our country.

By comparing the different existing transport in this route , we will get to know that how which fields hyperloop has upper hand on other modes.

In the end I will calculate the final energy consumption saving by using hyperloop in different period of time.

Calculated Estimation Corridor name - Delhi-Mumbai Tickets price - 2500 - 3500 Project cost - 60k Crore Yearly revenue - 21k Crore Stop distance - 500km Time taken - 70-90 minutes Speed - 900km/hr Distance - 1415 km

Research Results

I try to calculate the final energy consumption saving by using hyperloop in different period of time.

If we replace Majority of travel between these routes with Hyperloop , it will almost save up to 57% of energy per annum . Which will Ultimately Increase the life expectancy of fuel by 3 times .

BY Year 2100 Life expectancy of fossil Fuel X 2 times

Infrences

Building Hyperloop might be more expensive than other modes of transportation and it will require a lot of year to properly establish all over the coutry before getting these results.

So The system will not effect immediately but it will be benefit us in the longer run. Hence this type of transportation is we required to build.

Introduction

The Hardt Hyperloop Hub is a vision for a European network of Hyperloop stations.

It serves as a Prototype for a new building typology that will have an unprecedented impact on the cities and towns along the Hyperloop network.

Once in operation, the Hyperloop will travel at speeds up to 1000km/h, thus on par with commercial airplanes. Compared to airports though, the Hyperloop’s stations only take up a fraction of its space. The compact size will allow this new infrastructure to plug right into city centers.

This will open unprecedented opportunities for travelers, commuters and delivery of goods alike.Destinations and connections that are in today’s world simply too far apart and unfeasible to consider will be reliably and almost instantaneously connected: Commute from Amsterdam to Frankfurt on a daily basis.Spend a Sunday morning at the Mediterranean, have lunch in Paris and be back at home in the early afternoon.One-day delivery of spare parts from any European factory to your local hub.In this scenario the Hyperloop stations will become incubators for unprecedented services and cultural exchange.

HARDT Hyperloop , Netherlands From,Function and Speed

Station Concept

At speeds between 600 and 1000 km/h, the Hyperloop can travel at the same speed as airplanes, but delivers users right into the heart of cities, connecting them immediately with other forms of sustainable transport. For the Hyperloop Hub building, this speed opens up new opportunities for programmes within and around the Hub. By collapsing distances between producer and consumer we can create shorter food supply chains: super-fresh, high quality produce, picked or caught on the day, can be delivered across continents and right into the heart of cities within hours. This creates the basis for markets to emerge around and within the Hyperloop Hub. The ramifications for logistics also means that Hubs could become urban centers for circular and shared economy initiatives. As for knowledge transfer, the Hubs can establish a network of mobile learning spaces that connect to established institutions, drawing them closer toward one another. Spaces of work will also naturally coalesce around Hyperloop stations, as the Hubs become natural meeting spaces for busy workers. We can also envisage benefits for medicine, especially in situations where time is a crucial factor in saving the life of someone in need.

To accommodate this wide range of potential uses, flexible modules can hold different functions, from the purely pragmatic luggage check-in, parcel pick up point or bicycle dock, to daycare for busy parents or small pocket parks for children and adults.

Modular Approach

Adaptable Modular Framework

HARDT Hyperloop , Netherlands Station Power Region

Panel Installation

‘In the very near future, buildings will function as batteries, providing energy not only for their own immediate needs, but also for surrounding public amenities and transportation modes.’ Ben van Berkel Global urbanisation, population growth and urgent environmental concerns create infrastructural challenges that cannot be resolved with our current modes of transport. A sustainable alternative to air travel is imperative.

Just as each Hyperloop line will draw power from solar panels on the tube, each Hyperloop Hub must also act as a battery to sustain itself. The roof canopy provides daylight, protects passengers, ensures climatic balance, and harvests energy and water. Surplus energy produced at the Hubs and along the Hyperloop tubes could also power autonomous vehicles, buses and bicycles which passengers can use to complete their journey. The station then regulates the highs and lows of the solar-powered system, as well as its internal environment through high-performance materials that respond to changing heat, light and humidity levels.

Delhi International Airport Terminal Flow Arrival

The arrival of the International Passenger is at the ground floor level of the building. After the aircraft lands then the passengers are directed to the gate and then the passengers are required to use the travelators provided in the gates area to reach to their next destination i.e. IMMIGRATION. There is large no. of duty free shops in the arrival gate section of the T3 international airport.

The passengers take the escalators or any other medium of transport and reach to the immigration counters before they go on with the immigration checking they have to first fill up the arrival card for the custom clearance. Then the passengers are required to go on to their destined counters, the Delhi airport provides counters for • Passengers with special needs • Business Class / First Class Passengers • Passengers with Indian Passport • Passengers with Foreign Passport • Passengers of Indian Origin/ Overseas Citizen of India • Diplomats/ Officials • Passengers from SAARC Nations

Terminal Flow Departure

The departure is on the upper floor of the Terminal 3 after entering the building the passengers are welcomed with the amazing interior of the checking counters. After the checking in has been done the baggage would be weighed and they are placed on the conveyers and then the passengers proceeds to the immigration for their passport check The passengers are then boarded into the security portion where they are checked thoroughly then the passenger boards the departure lounge where there are lots of restaurants and shopping centers along with a smoking zone. After the announcement has been made the passengers are directed to the apron gate they travel through the travellators, passengers get off to their destined gates, the gate nos are clearly visible when the passengers travel through the travelators. The top floor of the departure lounge consist many more Restaurants, Private lounges, Internet. The passengers board into this section by an escalator and the below floor could be viewed from opening.

Dwarka in Delhi

Understanding the Context

Area Profile

Dwarka is a sub-city (planning zone K-II of Delhi) and a diplomatic enclave, now including the area in between Bijwasan road and the National Capital Territory of Delhi boundary, is located in South-West Delhi district of National Capital Territory of Delhi in India. The sub-city with an area of 59.24 Km is bounded in East by Delhi Rewari Railway Line, on the South by National Capital Territory of Delhi boundary in the West by Najafgarh Drain and in the North by Najafgarh road and Pankha Road.

It is located extremely near to Indira Gandhi International Airport and serves as the administrative headquarters of South West Delhi, which is led by District Magistrate. Dwarka is organised into sectors and mainly has Cooperative Group Housing Societies as residential options. There are also 11 village abadi existing within Dwarka with 7 villages surrounding by planned development and the remaining 4 falling within built-up area. It is one of the sought-after residential areas in the city. The sub-city also has the largest rooftop solar plant in the Union territory of Delhi. Dwarka is being developed as a smart city under Delhi Development Authority's ‘smart sub-city’ project.

Demgraphic Details

The total population of Dwarka sub-city is estimated to be approximate 11 lakh. The sub-city is designed to incorporate a total population of 13 lakh by the year 2021.

Socia-Economic Outline

In the planned sector of Dwarka Sub city the hierarchy of Commercial Centres are Linear District Centre along the Dwarka Metro Corridor, Community Centres in each sector followed by Local Shopping Centre and Convenience Shopping Centre. Beside this, Mixed Land Use plots have been proposed at the major transport crossing in Sector 6, 10 & 11. An Integrated Freight Complex with an area of 143 ha in sector 25 & 26 have been proposed. This will cater mainly to the Air Cargo based trading, being near to the International Airport and other limited commodities as part of wholesale trade.

Site Location

Land use pattern: Neighbourhood level

DDA has implemented a unique concept of Mixed Land Use (MLU) in Dwarka. All sectors are proposed to have a mix of housing of various socio-economic groups. In many sectors, approximately 80% of a plot is used for residential flats and the rest 20% for commercial purpose. The land use distribution of Dwarka follows a distinct hierarchical pattern from sub-city level to sector level.

Largely each sector has majority of residential plots supported by network of local sector level market () comercial) and park (recreational).

Sector-21 however has lot of vaccant spaces and unplanned green open areas.

Volumetric Analysis

The area is divided into pockets through a network of clear, geometrically laid out , broad roads .They mark the edges of the sectors and become soft thresholds Constructed as co-operative societies,most of the residential plots are built as 6-8 storey towers.

Supported by Service lanes on both sides , increases the gap between societies and reduces the vertical presence further.

More than 75% of Site is Vacant / unbuilt and has the potential to be developed in near future

Infrences

Structured as clusters, surrounded by vast open spaces - turns these building groups into isolated gated communities.

Each os these societies have their own ecosystem and there is no intercation between diffrent plots

Open Spaces-Infrences

SIT E

Even though there is a large presence of open spaces , they are rarely converted into vegetated,green lungs and mostly remain barren.

The pnes which are vegetated, have a thick cover of treess on edges making it difficult to comprehend the space from the street.

They are often subjected to litter and missuse. This makes them unsafe and hostile,discouraging their daily use by individuals

Movement Analysis Vehicular movement and Traffic Analysis Infrences

A variety of vehicles operate simultaneously.From private cars , to school buses to E-rickshaw , there are multiple modes of transport present.

Although the roads are sufficiently wide , the Primary Road - catering to multiple sectors , sees heavy traffic movement.

Pedestrian movement and Public Transport Infrences

The metro and mall serves as lifeline of the region, bringing the biggest volume of people around .

The metro and mall serves as lifeline of the region, bringing the biggest volume of people around .

The pedestrian is not very well maintained even though it is covered with trees .Mostly perople cut through vaccant plot for faster commute ,hence it is more used path

TEMPERATURE IN C

Delhi has a composite climate . Located in the north of India , Delhi experiences scorching , hot summers as well as severe cold winters . Due to extensive urbanisation , it also experiences urban heat island effect which makes the temperature go up to 40 celcius To add the complexity the region also witness brief monsoon season, which due to climate change over the years , has become increasingly unpredictable.

Further more the problem of polluted air has led to severe degradation in the Air quality index of the city. Filled with smoke and pollutatns, the air is becoming increasingly Toxic.

Southern side of the site will face the harshest sunlight during summer.

The shadow doesn’t affect the sit very much as the built spaces are very less in height and far away from site. Hence The structure will get get maxium solar rays to genrate power.

The Site experience the majority of wind flow from NW side generally in winter and from W side . Winds might get block because of the presence of build mass infornt of site.

SWOT Analysis Site Content

STRENGTH Topography The site is flat and is sloping towards West. Hence, the topography will not be a major constraint on the proposed development.

Location and Connectivity The proposed site is located at Sector 21 of the Dwarka Sub City in the South Western part of Delhi NCR. The site is also in proximity to the existing road, rail and transit links.

Water Resources and Availability It is proposed to meet the potable water Demand from the underground reservoir/ water mains of the Delhi Jal Board.

Wastewater/Sewerage System A sewerage system is already in place for the site. However, once the project is in operation, upgrading of sewage network may be considered to accommodate the demand.

WEAKNESS Ecology The site supports relatively low biodiversity with existing vegetation of relatively low ecological value.

Noise Site locations fall under IGI Airport runway funnels and hence, there will be noise impact on the proposed development on the site. Mitigation measures such as buffer areas, green barriers could maintain the impacts to minor impacts.

Sanitation The irregularity in transportation of garbage and the South Delhi Municipal Corporation failing to clean Dwarka has recently caused the city to face a severe sanitation crisis.

Lack of parking space in the city.Lack of proper public transport system leading to skewed traffic composition on the road network of the city.

Resettlement & Rehabilitation issues The site is already acquired and is in possession of the Delhi Development Area. Hence, there will be minimal rehabilitation and resettlement issues.

OPPORTUNITIES With the presence of good connectivity, it can develop as nodal centre linked with other economically vibrant cities.

The site provide high potential for future development because of the Unbuilt area The site directly connects to Airport , in no time The sports complex attracts majority of the outsider to the space

THREATS Crime Due to lack of streetlights, empty roads and absence of security guards The site supports relatively low biodiversity with existing vegetation of relatively low ecological value.

Future development could affect the surrounding
