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 ...

Fast Decision Support for Air Traffic Management at Urban Air Mobility Vertiports Using Graph Learning [PDF]
IEEE/RJS International Conference on Intelligent RObots and Systems, 2023 Urban Air Mobility (UAM) promises a new dimension to decongested, safe, and fast travel in urban and suburban hubs. These UAM aircraft are conceived to operate from small airports called vertiports each comprising multiple take-offllanding and battery ...
