Abstract
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is an emerging market in Advanced Air Mobility. Drones, electric aircraft, and automated air traffic control systems differ from piloted UAMs and can serve for viable passenger transportation in the near future. The use of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) are key to reducing traffic congestion and increasing urban multimodal integration and efficiency. Vertiport construction is necessary for take-off and landing locations but development is lacking in consistent land use regulations at all levels of government. This is due in part to limited existing data and also rapid technological advancement. With vertiport plans announced for several global cities it is paramount that social equity be addressed along with safety and access. GIS modeling of San Jose, California in connection with the larger San Francisco Bay Area region serves as a case study for local and state ground side UAM plans and policies.
