Abstract
Future Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operations present unique impacts on communities since UAM vehicles will operate primarily in populated areas. This shift from traditional aviation that typically operates point-to-point between urban areas, means that the impacts on third parties are increasingly more important. Safety, privacy, and nuisances such as noise all have third-party outcomes that should be explored to properly design a UAM transportation system that works for users and non-users alike. This thesis explores the use of a Digital Twin to minimize third-party safety and privacy impacts and shows that with accurate live population or mobility data, EVTOL vehicle flight planning is possible that considers where people currently are and adjusts the approach flight path accordingly.
A Digital Twin Prototype was developed to represent population density and live traffic data as an equivalent agent-based simulation of the physical world, which becomes the basis for assessing safety and privacy. A case study covering a portion of downtown Montreal is performed for multiple pedestrian and vehicle traffic settings to compare an EVTOL baseline vertiport approach suggested by the Federal Aviation Administration to 127 alternate vertiport approach scenarios to explore generalizations and demonstrate Digital Twin technology for the optimization of UAM operations.
It was found that flight path guidelines provided by aviation regulators will not necessarily provide optimal flight paths over urban areas when considering third-party impacts, and it was shown that Digital Twin technology is promising and may play a significant role in promoting community safety and privacy for UAM operations.
