The present invention relates to a positioning system for the hyperloop means of transport that comprises a group of readers installed on the pod that query the infrastructure by means of electromagnetic or pressure waves. Along the length of the route of the tube through which the pod travels, there is information encoded by passive elements that make up a message that is readable by the sensors. Once the message has been decoded, it is possible to determine the longitudinal forward movement of the pod and its rotation with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tube, because the tube presents different information encoded both longitudinally and angularly.
