Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to examine the existence of legal solutions in Poland in the scope of the ‘railways of the future’ and to indicate a possible model of regulation of this matter. The term ‘railways of the future’ in the article means unconventional railways, characterized by significant differences from traditional railways, those are, in particular: magnetic railways and Hyperloop. In order to obtain a complete picture of the regulation of these means of transport, the regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States of America were examined. An analysis was also made of the state of the regulation in Poland, together with an indication of which legal regulations may be applied in the creation and operation of a ‘railway of the future’. The article also contains conclusions concerning the creation of a model of comprehensive regulation of this matter, which may provide guidance for the legislator.
