Certifer Confirms Virgin Hyperloop One Technology is Ready for Independent Third-Party Safety Assessment
Certifer, as the independent safety assessor, is working with Virgin Hyperloop One to move the first-of-its-kind certification process forward
VALENCIENNES, France, Nov. 27, 2019, (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) :
Today, Certifer
announced they are working with Virgin Hyperloop One (VHO) to meet their goal
of surpassing the safety of all existing transport systems. Certifer has
followed VHO’s progress with the R&D, prototyping and testing stages, and
has performed a complete review of their solution design status. The
experienced Independent Safety Assessors at Certifer validated the readiness of
Virgin Hyperloop One’s technology and organization to be assessed in terms of
safety and confirmed the company is ready to take this historic first step –
the first of its kind in the hyperloop space.
”Partnering with
Virgin Hyperloop One is a big milestone in Certifer’s history and aligns with
our mission to support clients exploring innovative solutions to set the future
foundations of intelligent, reliable and safe transportation modes that will
improve user experience,” said Certifer’s CEO Pierre Kadziola.
“We are confident Virgin Hyperloop One can deliver on this technical challenge
with a high level of safety.”
“Embedding safety
into every level of our company is paramount,” said Virgin Hyperloop
One’s CEO Jay Walder. “We are ready to take this next step and have an
independent party like Certifer evaluate our processes and ensure we are
building a safe mass transportation system passengers can ride in years, not
decades.”
In building the
world’s first hyperloop system, VHO, is creating a disruption in the
traditional approach to transportation. Just like all railway and urban
transportation projects, such as high-speed trains, light rail transportation
systems, and metro rolling stocks, the VHO technology is subject to the same
process and constraints as those reviewed on “traditional” mode of
transportation.
VHO has chosen to
rely on Certifer, an independent safety assessment (ISA) body, to perform a
third party evaluation of the company's engineering and safety process.
Additionally, Certifer will serve as an independent assessor to ensure VHO is
in compliance with relevant transportation guidelines. Certifer will support
VHO with its high-level expertise across all of the railway disciplines and
subdisciplines as well as from several different domains such as system safety,
hardware development, software development, civil and mechanical works,
guideways, control command and signaling, magnetic propulsion, etc. Certifer
will work closely with VHO’s dedicated Safety Certification and Quality
Assurance team.
“By partnering
with VHO, Certifer becomes part of a revolution that is taking place in a
changing public transportation landscape,” said Certifer’s Director of
Innovation Aryldo Russo. “In the framework of this project, Certifer
is offering - on the same basis as all of our projects - the highest level of
quality while reflecting our core values of Innovation, Independence,
Impartiality, Commitment, Expertise and Excellence by enhancing challenges for
a safe future.”
“As the leader in
the industry, governments are looking to us as a trusted partner to advise on
this technology sector and recommend a new set of global standards. We take
this process very seriously and are working with Certifer to ensure our
engineering and safety processes meet the highest level of rigor and deliver a
safe product,” said Virgin Hyperloop One’s Director of Safety
Certification and Quality Assurance Benjamin Pasquier
Certifer is
assessing whether the Engineering Safety Management Plan developed by VHO is
adequate to achieve the stated goals, and that the identified list of standards
and regulations referred to by VHO for this program is sound from safety
viewpoint. In this framework, Certifer is considering the whole transport
system, including pods (vehicles), civil and guideway structures, vacuum and guideway
mechanisms, docks, controls and communication, maintenance and systems.
Virgin
Hyperloop One Regulatory Progress
Governments around
the world are recognizing hyperloop as a new mode of transportation. Earlier
this year, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao created the Non-Traditional
and Emerging Transportation Technology (NETT) Council to explore the regulation
and permitting of hyperloop technology to bring this new form of mass
transportation to the United States. The European Commission’s
Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport (DGMOVE) has also been leading
discussions with hyperloop companies to advance regulatory standards. In India,
the Principal Scientific Advisor (PSA), Prof. Vijayraghavan, has set up an
independent committee called the Consultative Group on Future of Transportation
(CGFT) to explore the regulatory path for hyperloop.

About
VHO
Virgin Hyperloop
One is the only hyperloop company who has built a full-scale hyperloop test
track and has completed hundreds of test runs to date. The company successfully
operated a full-scale hyperloop vehicle using electric propulsion and
electromagnetic levitation under near-vacuum conditions, realizing a
fundamentally new form of transportation that is faster, safer, cheaper, and
more sustainable than existing modes. The company is now working with
governments, partners, and investors around the world to make hyperloop a
reality in years, not decades. They currently have projects underway in India,
KSA, the U.S. and the UAE. Learn more about Virgin Hyperloop One’s technology,
