The Chair of Transportation Systems Engineering recently organized a successful Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Workshop, bringing together leading researchers to discuss the latest developments in urban aerial transportation systems. The workshop featured presentations from distinguished speakers across multiple institutions.
Associate Professor Chenyang Wu from Northwestern Polytechnic University presented research on "Air Travellers' Preferences for Multimodal Urban Air Mobility (UAM) as an Airport Shuttle in London," examining passenger acceptance and preferences for UAM services.
Associate Professor Kai Wang from Tsinghua University discussed "Network Design for Urban Aerial Mobility," addressing the infrastructure and planning challenges of UAM systems.
Assistant Professor Wei Zhang explored "Routing Optimization with Vehicle–Customer Coordination: Algorithm and Deployment," focusing on operational efficiency in transportation networks.
Post Doctoral Fellow Francesco De Fabiis from Polytechnic University of Milan examined "Behavioural models to assess Urban Air Mobility services," analyzing user behavior patterns.
Doctoral Researcher Hao Wu from Technical University of Munich presented "From User Preferences to Network Planning and Service Operation: Integrated Methods for UAM System Design," demonstrating comprehensive approaches to UAM system development.
The workshop provided a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration among researchers working on various aspects of urban air mobility, from user behavior analysis to network optimization and system integration. The diverse range of topics covered reflects the multidisciplinary nature of UAM research and the growing international interest in this emerging transportation mode.
