Abstract The Hyperloop is high-speed ground-based transportation system concept; a supersonic train line stretching across the country in airless tubes, which stands as competition for air, train, and car transportation for distances of travel from 200 to 1100 km. This paper concentrates on software - applied in the Hyperloop pod called Goose 3 [1], which was developed by the team from University of Waterloo [2] - Waterloop [3]. This paper is concentrated on roadblocks, that were faced during the design and development process; to be more specific - building a reliable and scalable infrastructure that allows for complete control of the pod throughout the launch. In the pod, electronics and software play a crucial role, as traveling at high velocities requires immediate response to real-time vehicle conditions obtained from sensors on-board, which raises it’s own unique challenges. This paper looks at the work completed by team Waterloop in areas of design of the electrical and software system.
