Modeling Urban Air Quality Using Taxis as Sensors

Monitoring urban air quality with high spatiotemporal resolution continues to pose significant challenges. We investigate the use of taxi fleets as mobile sensing platforms, analyzing over 100 million PM2.5 readings from more than 3,000 vehicles across six major U.S. cities during one year.

Experiencing urban air mobility: how passengers evaluate a simulated flight with an air taxi

CEAS Aeronautical Journal
Abstract For the successful development and implementation of novel concepts and technology, the acceptance of potential users is crucial. Therefore, within the project HorizonUAM of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), we investigated passengers’ acceptance of air taxis.

Autonomous Decision Making for Air Taxi Networks

Future urban air mobility systems are expected to be operated by rideshare companies as fleets, which will require fully autonomous air traffic control systems and an order of magnitude increase in airspace capacity. Such a system must not only be safe, but also highly responsive to customer demand.
