Acceptance, safety and sustainability recommendations for efficient deployment of uam
Rapidly developing technology in recent years, makes the concept of vertical transport over populated areas real and nearly ready for implementation. The vision of additional dimension added to hitherto nearly flat urban/metropolitan transport system own potential to become a mobility revolution for passengers and unprecedented challenge for cities in numerous aspects. ASSURED-UAM (Acceptability, safety and sustainability recommendations for Efficient Deployment of UAM) aiming at assuring outstanding robustness in terms of safety, sustainability and acceptability of UAM by focusing to: propagate and accommodate aviation best practices, standards, recommendations and organizational solutions into city/municipal administrative and legislative structures responsible for deployment Urban Air Mobility services in near future; To assure broad and comprehensive organisational and policy definition support for authorities, policy makers and urban industry organization in complex process of implementation of vertical modes of transport and integration with horizontal dimensions of urban and peri-urban mobility systems; To become first but robust answer on European Green Deal goals contributing to climate neutral urban transport in 2050; To provide recommendations for integration of surface modes under the umbrella of U-Space Air Traffic Management System (X-TEAM D2D Project). Outline: Multidisciplinary study providing organizational and policy framework for process of introduction of  unmanned modes of urban air mobility. In detail: ConOps, Plan for deployment scenarios for 10 use cases within 5, 10 and 15-year’ timeframe, Knowledge base and policy recommendations in 8 languages, standards for products and processes as well as tools for exchange and learning of urban air mobility, project development support and technical assistance in three locations. UAM community integration and wide consultations, cooperation, and synergy with other projects, industry and user groups.
