Law and Infrastructure: Reliability, Automation Transition, and Irregularities of “U‐Space”

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union (EU) is making regulatory efforts to allow for the safe integration of drones into civilian airspace through automated means. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/664 concerning unmanned traffic management (a system referred to as “U‐Space”) furthers that commitment. Accordingly, drone operators must avail themselves

Research of Hierarchical Vertiport Location Based on Lagrange Relaxation

Aerospace
With the rise of the low-altitude urban traffic system, urban air mobility (UAM) has developed rapidly. As a critical component of the UAM system, the strategic layout of vertiports helps divert ground traffic pressure. To satisfy various demand patterns,

On a fair and risk‐averse urban air mobility resource allocation problem under demand and capacity uncertainties

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 111-132, February 2025.
Abstract Urban air mobility (UAM) is an emerging air transportation mode to alleviate the ground traffic burden and achieve zero direct aviation emissions. Due to the potential economic scaling effects, the UAM traffic flow is expected to increase dramatically once implemented, and its market can be substantially large.

Throughput and Capacity Analysis of a Vertiport with Taxing and Parking Levels

Aerospace
Amidst the increasing aerial traffic and road traffic congestion, Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has emerged as a new mode of aerial transport offering less travel time and ease of portability. A critical factor in reducing travel time is the emerging electric

A Review of Certification Compliance Assessment for Nonresettable Protection Devices in eVTOL Applications

IET Electrical Systems in Transportation, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The introduction of electrical vertical take‐off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft enables a greener, quieter, and faster method of aerial transportation method than helicopters. Key electrical power technologies are also being developed to enable the realization of these new aircraft types.

A Resilience‐Driven Concept to Manage Drone Intrusions in U‐Space

IET Radar, Sonar &Navigation, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
With the U‐space revolution, drones are not only going to reshape both the physical space and the cyberspace of the future urban environment but are also introducing new multi‐domain risks. This work proposes a concept for improving the U‐space resilience through a novel service, named DARS (drone attack resilience service), relying on an artificial ...

Flying taxis revived: Can Urban air mobility reduce road congestion?

Journal of Urban Mobility, 2021
: Many metropolitan regions are investigating Urban Air Mobility (UAM) as a new transport mode for medium distance intra-regional trips. In this paper, an agent-based travel demand model was developed to simulate UAM demand for the region surrounding ...

Analysis of Factors Influencing Public Acceptance of Air Taxis in South Korea

Journal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Air taxis, a core service within urban air mobility (UAM), have the potential to enhance user satisfaction and address societal challenges such as traffic congestion and environmental pollution. However, the success of this service is often hindered by various concerns.
