Toronto – Ottawa – Montreal Hyperloop
Hyperloop is a new mode of transportation that moves freight and people quickly, safely, on demand and direct from origin to destination.
Passengers or cargo are loaded into a Hyperloop pod which accelerates gradually by electric propulsion through a low-pressure tube. The vehicle floats above the track using magnetic levitation and glides at airline speeds for long distances as a result of ultra-low aerodynamic drag. It is the intention of Hyperloop One, a leader in Hyperloop technologies, to build the system on columns or tunneled below ground to avoid hazardous grade crossings and wildlife. It is fully autonomous and enclosed, eliminating pilot error and weather hazards. It is safe and clean, with no direct carbon emissions.
The AECOM HYPERCAN Team proposed a Canadian Hyperloop route that would connect three of Canada’s largest cities. The Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal Canadian proposed corridor is the most heavily travelled inter-regional corridor in Canada. The metropolitan areas combined contain over 25 per cent of the population of Canada. This corridor has the population base, existing travel demand, and geography to support an operational Hyperloop. Historically, there has been interest and public support for improved connections through the corridor, including provincial and federal feasibility studies.
The additional connectivity provided by Hyperloop would increase the standard of living for people who live and work in the area, creating productivity gains for businesses while developing a new level of shipping infrastructure.
