title: Finding routes for hyperloop transportation infrastructure in the Netherlands using a GIS-MCDA approach
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Plans exist for a Hyperloop (test) track in the Netherlands. Currently there is no suitable institutional framework for the implementation of the infrastructure. Therefore, the GIS-MCDA approach is chosen because this location problem can be defined as a multi-criteria decision problem, whereby a variety of spatial criteria have to be taken into account. From the current configuration of the study area, expressed in 17 criteria, are routes calculated. With a Pairwise Comparison questionnaire (n=16) consulting experts were importance values assigned to criteria. 
The result is 10 possible routes of which most routes covered the same area, had similar scores for evaluation statistics and they crossed four identified bottlenecks at the same location. Recommendations for future work include an analysis of the effect of buffer sizes around features, use of MCA for choosing a “best” route, and automation of parts of the methodology for the application in a workshop setting.
