Impact of Wind on eVTOL Operations and Implications for Vertiport Airside Traffic Flows: A Case Study of Hamburg and Munich

open access: yesDrones, 2023
This study examines the impact of wind/gust speed conditions on airside traffic flows at vertiports in the context of on-demand urban air mobility based on the Vertidrome Airside Level of Service Framework.

Estimating vertiport passenger throughput capacity for prominent eVTOL designs [PDF]

open access: yesCEAS Aeronautical Journal, 2023
AbstractUrban Air Mobility has the potential to substantially reduce travel times in some cases of urban-related transportation. Travel time savings strongly depend on fast processing at vertiports, which presents a key challenge considering demand levels’ vertiports would experience when becoming an established mode of transport.

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

open access: yesRegulation &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

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

open access: yesNaval 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.

Network Topology-Driven Vertiport Placement Strategy: Integrating Urban Air Mobility with the Seoul Metropolitan Railway System

open access: yesApplied Sciences
We propose a vertiport location-allocation methodology for urban air mobility (UAM) from the perspective of transportation network topology. The location allocation of vertiports within a transportation network is a crucial factor in determining the ...
