Vertiport Design and Operations
This thesis presents research of Urban Air Mobility infrastructure focusing on vertiports. Through means of Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation, the design drivers of airfield operations were identified and quantified. These are peak-hour demand, imbalances between arrivals and departures, number of pads and gates, approach/departure time, and boarding
