The New Paradigm of Safe and Sustainable Transportation: Urban Air Mobility

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is a revolutionary air transportation system that enables on-demand air travel. To enable successful air transportation, efficient management of large-scale aircraft is a critical factor to consider. In a dynamic environment, it is difficult to establish control rules due to uncertainty. To ensure the security and safety of both passengers and unmanned aerial vehicles, the UAM fleet needs a secure air traffic management system. However, regulations, infrastructural requirements, operation robustness, and communication still have problems to address. In this study, we summarize the challenges to deploying UAM widely. This overview discusses potential barriers to the UAM systems in terms of communication, control, and operations. Furthermore, we also provide open issues and research challenges in the paper.
