Abstract Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is a new air transportation system for passengers and cargo in urban environments, enabled by technologies integrated into multimodal systems. The vision of UAM comprises the mass use suburban complementing existing systems contributing to decarbonization transport sector. Initial attempts create market last century failed due lack profitability community acceptance. Technological advances numerous fields over past few decades have led renewed interest...
Drone applications are increasingly being developed for urban environments, and drones may soon become additional traffic participants in cities. Thus, would be a further component to existing yet another stimulus areas. Therefore, it is crucial investigate how air mobility (UAM) perceived by the society. Will presence of tolerated general public? To address this question, Virtual Reality (VR) study was conducted, which investigates factors flight height, visual density drone noise affect...
The technology of unmanned aerial vehicles (i.e., civilian drones) continues to improve and concepts operations are being developed. Against this background, the importance public acceptance has grown number studies on subject increased in recent years. In context as a follow-up study by Eißfeldt colleagues [1], representative telephone survey drones Germany was conducted at end 2022. addition re-evaluating attitude towards general, current particularly examined use case air taxis. It found...
This study investigated the public acceptance of drones in six European countries. For this purpose, an online questionnaire was created, which completed by 2998 participants. The general attitude towards drones, concerns, approval for different use cases, minimum tolerable flight altitude, acceptable areas, and impact personal demographic attributes on drone were analyzed. Overall, attitudes quite positive entire sample even improved slightly a second measurement at end questionnaire....
Abstract Drones may play an essential role in future traffic. As with every innovation, not only is the technical maturity decisive for its success, but also whether general public will accept it. This paper uses a mixed-method approach combining quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate social acceptance concerning drones. The study included 20 participants comprised virtual simulation, team task, group discussion. way, different aspects of drone were investigated. On one hand,...
Various manufacturers express the vision of using air taxis for passenger transport in cities within a few years. However, current research shows that society is still sceptical about taxis. There are numerous factors influencing acceptance and willingness to use One them pleasant comfortable cabin design. Within user-centered-approach, this investigates, what preferences people have on interior design future For purpose, focus group study was conducted project HorizonUAM, including...
Abstract This paper reports an explorative approach to research factors influencing how people experience urban drone traffic. The study used a virtual reality environment show what future traffic could look like. A total of ten took part in the survey. They experienced different types drones with varying purposes four areas: industrial area, city center, residential and park. Various data were collected study, focusing on qualitative from interviews. goal was collect rich comprehensive set...
Training concepts for UAV crews are often based on the well-defined requirements respective work organization. The more formalized a organization is structured, specific suitable training concept can be elaborated. missions run in such highly structured frameworks and require therefore very concepts. However, also conducted within flexible setups. Sometimes, if not often, this flexibility needed. This case when novel UAV-organizations developed with iteratively elaborated operational In...
For the successful development and implementation of novel concepts technology, acceptance potential users is crucial. Therefore, within project HorizonUAM, we investigated passengers' air taxis. One challenge that not many people have real experiences with urban mobility (UAM) at moment thus requirements formulated by refer to rather abstract concepts. To allow participants gain realistic impressions UAM concepts, a Mixed Reality Air Taxi Simulator was set up. It allows experience an...
