Summary/Abstract: Hyperloop is a new technology that does not exist in any country in the world, but research is ongoing concerning the introduction of such a method of transportation. One of them is occurring in Poland and is preparing to introduce hyperloop in the future. This new technology, which differs in a significant way from conventional rail, will require that current laws be substantially amended, because the current Polish legal system regulates only conventional rail technology. In the case of the hyperloop, a whole new system of supervision on hyperloop infrastructure and trains must be created. The aim of this article in to analyze provisions that will deal with the supervision of a functioning hyperloop. The paper will analyze current legal provisions concerning conventional rail to determine what changes have to be made to assure the proper and safe functioning of the hyperloop. Analysis will cover issues related to infrastructure, such as technical supervision over the operation of the hyperloop infrastructure and vehicles, licensing hyperloop operations and approval of the use of hyperloop vehicles.
