ITO World maps Hyperloop route from Chicago to Cleveland

London-based mobility data experts Ito World has mapped Hyperloop Transportation Technologies’ (HTTs’) route from Cleveland to Chicago to help the company promote its technology as a solution to tackle congestion and pollution. The route could transport 54, 720 people a day and reduce travel time from 5.5 hours by car to a 28-minute journey.

London-based mobility data experts 5957 Ito World has mapped 8535 Hyperloop Transportation Technologies’ (HTTs’) route from Cleveland to Chicago to help the company promote its technology as a solution to tackle congestion and pollution. The route could transport 54, 720 people a day and reduce travel time from 5.5 hours by car to a 28-minute journey.


HTT choose Ito World as one of its partners to help outline the socio-economic benefits of the interstate route. The visualisation was presented at HTT’s civic event, which was attended by dignitaries of both states.

Johan Herrlin, CEO at Ito World, said: “We're at the beginning of a revolution in transportation and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies is at the bleeding edge. We're excited to be counted as one of their contributing partners, helping to explain the social, economic, and environmental benefits of Hyperloop.”

Craig Taylor, senior data visualization design manager at Ito World, added: “The Ito World Design Lab’s goal was to create something both informative and captivating to tell Hyperloop’s story. We synthesized population demographics along with drive time catchments to create state-of-the-art visuals that emphasized the advantages of Hyperloop’s vision.”

    The Texas Transportation Institute's Jerry Ullman talks about the state of the art in work zone safety in the US. Work zones are places where, perhaps more than anywhere else on the road network, mobility and safety are strongly linked. Historically, field crews and contractors wanted vehicles in work zones to be moving as slowly as possible, assuming that made conditions the safest for work crews. We are though starting to see a shift in such thinking with the realisation that excessive delays or slow-down
