CAPACIDADE DA INFRAESTRUTURA TERRESTRE PARA MOBILIDADE AÉREA URBANA (UAM VERTIPORT): A PAPER REVIEW¶
Abstract¶
In the last 50 years, traffic congestion has increased significantly in metropolitan areas (Mondschein et al., 2017) due to population growth and its concentration in large cities (Fadhil, 2018). With the emergence of the electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles - eVTOL and its objective of solving the urban mobility problem sustainably and affordably, the company Uber issued a whitepaper called Uber Elevate in 2016 and organized international events, promoting the development of the new industry called Urban Air Mobility - UAM, further claiming that the most significant UAM operational challenge implementation is the Ground Infrastructure deficiency. Currently, only a few studies focus on Ground Infrastructure requirements for eVTOL (Alexander et al., 2017; Seeley, 2017a; Vascik et al., 2017; Antcliff et al., 2016). For this reason, this work aims to present a summary and analysis of the previously published literature regarding the UAM, specifically about the Ground Infrastructure capacity topic, in order to subsidize future works by the air transport scientific community.
