Why we're on the brink of a transportation crisis | Quentin Pletinckx | TEDxUniversityofStrathclyde

World population is growing faster than ever, more and more people are gaining access to leisure transportation and e-commerce, and air traffic is expected to double in less than 20 years. How can we manage this drastic, worldwide change? Could a subsonic levitating train be the answer to the upcoming transportation crisis? Quentin is a second year Electrical and Electronical Engineering student at the University of Strathclyde. He is the founder and president of StrathLoop. StrathLoop is a student driven initiative that was created with the aim to answer the transportation crisis we are faced with and be a front-runner in innovation in that sector. They have decided to start with Hyperloop technology and are part of the 2019 SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition. In its first 3 months of existence, they made it to the final stage of the com- petition before being able to showcase and test their pod design in California. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
