Abstract

With the emergence of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL), Urban Air Mobility will arise as a new, disruptive travel mode in the world of urban transportation. This seminar will highlight how data and advanced analytics inform decisions as we build out this new, fully electric transportation ecosystem. This includes modeling demand, finding optimal vertiport locations, aircraft routing and charging, and simulating vertiport operations.
