The realisation objective is to study, design, implementation and testing of innovative attitude control and measurement systems intended to equip the PODs of a state-of-the-art transport system based on Hyperloop technology.
Innovative rail geometry measurement system for the Hyperloop consists of:

Inertial platform; LaserDriver, Laser Emitter,
Sensor board, LaserCam, LaserDiag, TGBox.
The measurement technology is based on:
– Inertial measurement capable of providing real-time attitude and
trajectory of the POD;
– Optoelectronic measurement, based on lasers and cameras, capable of
measure the distance of the POD from the single rail and the profile of the tube.
The measurement of all parameters of interest is obtained by combining optical measurements with inertial ones. The information from the optical and inertial sensors is translated into a co-ordinate system to monitor the movements of the POD with respect to the sliding plane.
