The purpose of this review is to explore on Hyperloop technology as is used in railway transportation. For the many years’ railways have been playing a significant role in mass passenger and freight transport. In the modern daily travel environment (commuter), railways face new challenges from different perspectives. For example, urban railways always focus on how to minimize the vibration and noise from trams, subways and light rail vehicles on the environment. Intercity transport must focus on how to achieve higher speeds as well as eliminating noise and vibration so as to minimize travel time and even achieve the potential of diverting passengers from air traffic and decreasing exhaust pollution in the atmosphere. Lastly, urban transport and intercity transport must all develop strategies to achieve better economic values regardless of what type of transport is used. Facing future demands and challenges, hyper loop trains provide a new option. It provides contactless operation on wheel/rail systems.
