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 solution is disclosed related to hyperloop vehicle communication using a transponder system. The transponder system comprises a plurality of transponder subnetwork controllers configured to provide one or more pluralities of transponders with connectivity. The pluralities of transponders are disposed at intervals such that the failure of a particular transponder is mitigated based on the interval of the transponders along with the connectivity of the supporting transponder subnetwork controllers. A hyperloop vehicle is configured to interact with the transponder system such that vehicle-side safety systems may rely on the transponder system as configured. The disclosed solution provides for enhanced traffic safety for hyperloop passengers and/or cargo, thus enabling green transportation.
