Implementation efficiency of the Hyperloop vacuum train project in the Gulf countries

Recently, in the countries of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Persian Gulf, much attention has been paid to improving railway transport using the latest technologies and achievements of science and technology. For economic, social and environmental reasons, the development of this type of transport is becoming one of the main tasks of the governments of these countries.

A modern rail network will connect all GCC countries and provide another mobility option besides road, air and sea transport for both passengers and cargo in the region. The new national project is expected to make a significant contribution to the economy and prosperity of the countries in the region.

The development of the transport system in this region, taking into account economic and climatic features, is justified by the state transport strategy to achieve global indicators not only of traditional safety, accessibility and quality of transportation, but also of environmental friendliness, multimodality and speed.

As part of the long-term development of the transport system, among the priorities of the governments of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar is the use of a vacuum maglev transport system to launch ultrahigh-speed train traffic by putting into operation the fastest train in the world with a speed of up to 1100 km/h, the project executor is an American company Hyperloop. The journey between Dubai and Riyadh will last only 48 minutes, the project becomes the main competitor to the highly developed air transport, and the train of the future will be the first means of transport between the Gulf countries.

The relevance of the project lies in the integration of the economy and life of the people of the countries of the region, increasing the mobility of citizens and residents, creating an attractive platform for companies, manufacturers, resources and human capital, supporting joint investments between countries, as well as developing the tourism industry and environmental protection.
