eVTOL Arrival Sequencing and Scheduling for On-Demand Urban Air Mobility

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has the ability to reduce ground traffic congestion by enabling rapid on-demand flight through three-dimensional airspace with zero operational emissions by using electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL)<br/>vehicles. In the long term with more UAM flights, air traffic control is expected to limit further growth of...

A review of current technology and research in urban on-demand air mobility applications

The purpose of this report is to summarize the current technology and challenges facing the market for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for urban on-demand air mobility applications. This report has two parts. The first part reviews existing electric drones for on-demand air mobility services for human transportation and...

Rolling-horizon electric vertical takeoff and landing arrival scheduling for on-demand urban air mobility

Urban air mobility with electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles is envisioned to become a fast and flexible urban transportation mode. Apart from technical challenges for eVTOLs regarding vehicle design and manufacturing, airspace design and traffic control mechanisms are most desired on the operation side. In particular, from an...
