Transports around 0.5 million people per year. 4.5. Safety and Reliability The design of Hyperloop has been considered from the start with safety in mind. Unlike other modes of transport, Hyperloop is a single system that incorporates the vehicle, propulsion system, energy management, timing, and route. Capsules travel in a carefully controlled and maintained tube environment. The system is immune to wind, ice, fog, and rain. The propulsion system is integrated into the tube and can only accelerate the capsule to speeds that are safe in each section. With human control error and unpredictable weather removed from the system, very few safety concerns remain. Some of the safety scenarios below are unique to the proposed system, but all should be considered relative to other forms of transportation. In many cases Hyperloop is intrinsically safer than airplanes, trains, or automobiles. 4.5.1. Onboard Passenger Emergency All capsules would have direct radio contact with station operators in case of emergencies, allowing passengers to report any incident, to request help and
