Deploying Urban Air Mobility in European cities

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) services will be more and more deployed in the near future. The ASSURED-UAM (Acceptance, Safety and Sustainability Recommendations for Efficient Deployment of UAM) is a European research projects funded under H2020 Programme (Grant Agreement number: 101006696), aiming to build a knowledge framework to guarantee outstanding robustness in terms of safety, sustainability and acceptability of UAM.

This course is part of ASSURED-UAM’s guides and learning tools and consists of 8 video lessons summarising the knowledge acquired during the ASSURED-UAM Project. It depicts most probable scenarios for UAM integration in European cities, discusses current status and evolutionary trends of aviation best practices, standards, recommendations and organizational solutions to pursue economic, social and environmental sustainability of UAM. UAM practitioners and authorities, policymakers and industry organizations without aviation background will get an overview of the key issues for UAM integration in European cities to foster theimplementation of vertical transport with the horizontal urban space and peri-urban mobility systems.. The courses proposes the following lessons:

Lesson 1 Foresight scenarios for UAM in future integrated urban mobility system

Lesson 2 UAM integration in cities

Lesson 3 Regulatory framework for UAM deployment

Lesson 4 Life cycle cost & Energy effectiveness analysis for UAM deployment

Lesson 5 Recommendation and standards definition for UAM and urban transport integration

Lesson 6 Social sustainability of UAM

Lesson 7 Policy and urban planning standards and recommendations

Lesson 8 Preparatory activities in 3 European urban areas to test UAM deployment within next years

ASSURED-UAM Consortium consists of experienced leading aeronautical research organisations such as Ł-ILOT, CIRA, and NLR, ISSNOVA expert in sustainable mobility and urban planning and participatory design, as well as Portuguese CEiiA, very active in the field of innovative mobility solutions research and implementation and representative of Porto city. Bari City will be represented by DTA, while the Polish metropolitan area of GZM will be directly involved.
