Traveling as fast as the speed of sound, the Hyperloop will be faster than today's conventional methods of transportation with speeds up to 760 MPH. Completely self sufficient, solar panels placed along the track produce excess amounts of the energy that is actually required to run the system.The climate controlled capsule travels inside of a reinforced 'tube' pathway, rendering the Hyperloop Transportation System weather independent and earthquake safe thanks to the use of pylons. The construction costs are much lower than any existing, and yet proposed railway projects. It utilizes existing infrastructure thanks to the use of these pylons and has reduced land acquisition costs as well.These reduced costs translate directly into cheaper ticket prices, therefore changing the way we travel and ultimately the way that we all get to live and enjoy our lives! With such affordable fares, an individual could easily live in one city and work in another. This is not only a solution for affordable housing and corporate commute, but will also boost personal and social lives as well as economical development. In additon we will have UCI students present on their Hyperxite Spacex Hyperloop POD competition. A group of dedicated students are engaged in comprehensive design testing and construction of a half-scale Hyperloop pod. The student lead project, with the assistance of top university professors, is focused on specific technologies that will accelerate the development of this unique and innovative transportation system. Additional information is available at http://www.hyperxite.com. Speakers: Robert Delgado Robert Delgado recently joined Jacobs Engineering through the JL Patterson acquisition this past year providing business development efforts in expanding the Rail engineering Services of Jacobs nationally. On his free time he serves as a Hypermaster for the Quay Valley Planning Committee on behalf of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies. Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, also known as HTT, is an American research company formed using a crowd collaboration approach (a mix of team collaboration and crowdsourcing) to develop a transportation system based on the Hyperloop concept, which was envisioned by Elon Musk in 2013. HTT is currently in the environmental process in building a research and testing facility in Kings County, CA. This facility will be a fully functioning Hyperloop system that is nearly 5 miles long running parallel to the I-5. Construction is currently slated to start in 2017. Mr. Delgado’s 20 plus years in the construction industry provides the HTT team local knowledge of the region, the California transportation industry and the industry connections towards facilitating progress in building the fifth mode of transportation. Lan Saadatnejadi Lan Saadatnejadi has more than 20 years of experience in delivering infrastructure improvement programs and projects with innovation and ingenuity, including alternative deliveries. She has worked in both public and private sectors and understands what it takes to build a program as well as develop a project from inception through completion. She has comprehensive knowledge of federal, state, regional, and local transportation programs, including high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, toll roads, high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, freeway widening, new freeways, interchanges, multi-purpose corridors, operational improvements, etc. Throughout her career, she has demonstrated the ability to take on challenges, bring new initiatives to fruition, build new program and project teams, and elevate teams to the next level. During her tenure with Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority as the Executive Officer of Highway Program, she built a brand new team and developed a $20 billion Measure R Highway Program. She transformed a brand new team from grant administration to project delivery focused, and achieved an annual growth rate of 30% in project delivery. She partnered with California State University Northridge (CSUN) to develop a series of P3 courses focusing on transportation improvement projects and has received many accolades. This is one of the strategic efforts to build broader resource pool of talents for the upcoming P3 opportunities. She founded the LRS Program Delivery, Inc. in 2014 specifically focusing on developing infrastructure projects with public-private partnership approach. Ms. Saadatnejadi is a licensed civil engineer. She earned her bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA); and MBA from California State University, Long Beach (CSLB). UCI Students Juliana Andrews Juliana Andrews is a senior at UC Irvine majoring in Civil engineering with a minor in Material Science. Currently, as her senior design project, she is the Lead Structural engineer for team HyperXite. For HyperXite, Juliana has designed an innovative structure out of composite materials and has conducted extensive FEA and physical tests on it, in order to verify its integrity. Juliana will be graduating this June and will be applying to graduate school this fall. Vivian Tseng Vivian Tseng is currently in her fourth year at UC Irvine as a Civil and Mechanical Engineering double major with a minor in Materials Science Engineering. She is currently on the Hyperxite Structures Team. She has also been an active member of the ASCE Student Chapter at UC Irvine for the last 3 years and has led various ASCE projects like Concrete Canoe and Geotechnical Wall. She will be graduating in June of 2017 and hopefully attending graduate school in the fall. Contact marketing@asceoc.org for sponsorship opportunities. |
