Abstract: Various propulsion motor topologies are provided. In particular, a propulsion motor is provided which includes: at least one ferromagnetic core having opposite ends joined by a body forming a magnetic flux pathway between the opposite ends; a magnetic flux inducing device to induce a first magnetic flux in the at least one ferromagnetic core along the magnetic flux pathway; and armature coils to induce a varying second magnetic flux in the at least one ferromagnetic core perpendicular to the magnetic flux pathway, to assist inducing a propulsion force perpendicular to the magnetic flux pathway. The at least one ferromagnetic core is shaped to form one or more total forces perpendicular to the propulsion force due to the first magnetic flux.

Abstract: A method for optimizing a search space associated with alignment curves includes determining, at a processor, a bounding region and an initial alignment. The initial alignment is within the bounding region. A corridor buffer that is associated with the initial alignment is generated at the processor. A rasterized cost map is generated at the processor based on the corridor buffer.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for optimizing an alignment between two points includes receiving a map of an area. The method also includes selecting a first solver from a group of solvers for optimizing an alignment between the two points in the map, each of the group of solvers is a machine learning solver. The method further includes generating a first optimal alignment between the two points based on the first solver minimizing a cost function associated with the two points.

Abstract: A system and method for performing braking operations on a hyperloop pod are disclosed herein. The hyperloop pod may have a secondary braking system, wherein the secondary braking system may be operable to provide a first braking force. The hyperloop pod may have a transponder communication system and a line-of-sight system, wherein the line-of-sight system may be operable to detect a second hyperloop pod at a line-of-sight distance. The hyperloop pod may have a memory and a processor operable to detect a second hyperloop pod and determine a collision margin between the hyperloop pod and the second hyperloop pod. The hyperloop pod may engage the secondary braking system if a safety margin is equal to or greater than the collision margin.

Abstract: The disclosed solution generally relates to a hyperloop vehicle detecting objects in a hyperloop system. Hyperloop vehicles operate at incredible velocities and require robust systems to detect objects that increase the risk to a hyperloop vehicle. Transponders typically provide long-range data about the activity of downstream hyperloop vehicles. However, nearby objects require detection at line-of-sight distances in order to ensure that objects and vehicles within a given transponder interval distance are detected. The disclosed system provides an elegant solution that combines the advantages of both transponder-based object detection and sensor-based object detection.

Abstract: A track switching arrangement for a track-based guided transportation system, wherein the track switching arrangement forms diverging pathways and enables vehicle-side switching of a vehicle in the guided transportation system. The track switching arrangement includes an upstream pathway; two downstream pathways; and a path switching transition region having the diverging pathways between the upstream pathway and the two downstream pathways. Each of the pathways includes track elements configured to interact with one or more respective bearings of the vehicle to provide levitation to the vehicle and/or guidance for the vehicle.

Abstract: Magnet array structure includes a first linear magnet array having a plurality of consecutively arranged first Halbach arrays and a second linear magnet array having a plurality of consecutively arranged second Halbach arrays. The first linear magnet array, from a first end of the magnet array structure to a second end of the magnet array structure, having magnetic flux orientations rotating in a first direction, and the second linear magnet array, from the first end of the magnet array structure to the second end of the magnet array structure, having magnetic flux orientations rotating in a second direction that is opposite the first direction. The first linear magnet array is arranged parallel to the second linear magnet array so that, between the first and second ends of the magnet array structure, the first Halbach magnetic arrays are linearly offset from the second Halbach magnetic arrays.
