Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

5.3.1 Underground Tunnels – Intro

Course subject(s) Module 5. Future of Hyperloop: Infrastructure, Politics and Public Acceptance

Now that we have some understanding of the basic infrastructure for a Hyperloop Network we’d like to conclude this week with the subject of tunnelling. During his time at Delft Hyperloop Jelle discovered in his study for a European Network that there are some major benefits for underground construction. In this video he will show you why this method is so favourable for the Hyperloop.
