Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOLs) vehicles are used to move passengers between skyports in urban air mobility. Safety landing sites (SLSs) cover the trajectory of VTOLs for emergency landings. We study the optimal placement of SLSs in the air transportation network under budget on SLS installation. We propose two models based on the k-splittable and […]

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has become a potentially competitive transport mode in cities. Therefore, companies are starting different projects to deploy their own UAM systems. This work comprises the first steps towards the construction of a travel demand model to forecast the potential demand for the Uber UAM system in the area of Dallas – […]

Part of Uber’s pilot research project involves setting up 3D visuals to convey trips of vertical take-off and landing vehicles (VTOLs). In this context, we have proposed a computational model enabling to automatically generate videos of a specified duration which summarize the important events occurring during a flight simulation. In particular we take inspiration from […]
