By 2030, it is estimated that around 60 percent of the world’s population will live in cities. If we succeed in shifting some of the traffic from the roads to the air, researchers believe this could help to further secure the basic human need for mobility.
The course gives you a first introduction to the relatively new field of urban air mobility, explains the technical background and provides an overview of all other necessities such as air traffic management, public acceptance and environmental sustainability.

Structure
Module 1: Introduction – What is Urban Air Mobility?
This first course module gives an overview of all aspects that define “Urban Air Mobility”. It explains the concept of Urban Air Mobiltiy as well as all crucial factors, such as vehicle and power train design, infrastructure and vertiport design, etc.
Module 2: Urban Air Mobility from an Industry Perspective
In this module, Dr. Markus May presents the approach to the topic of Urban Air Mobility from an industry perspective and shows the ideas of Airbus in this context.
Module 3: Political perspectives
In this module, the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport presents the national policies and the legal framework for Urban Air Mobility in Germany.
Module 4: Demand Modeling for Urban Air Mobility
This module describes different approaches and data used to model travel demand. An introduction to discrete choice models is provided.
Module 5: Aviation Management
Decision makers at airports and airlines face many challenges and require support to deal with these effectively and appropriately. This gives rise to a variety of difficult and interesting problems. This module looks at three big classes of problems and discusses applicable general solution approaches.
Module 6: Traffic Management for Urban Air Mobility
This module is about understanding how traffic management for urban air mobility could work and what conditions need to be designed in an urban environment.
Module 7: Urban Air Mobility and Urban Planning
This module explains the common transport and land use planning processes that are required for building UAM vertiports.
Module 8: Understanding the Acceptance of Urban Air Mobility
This course covers a range of topics related to determining the demand for previously unavailable modes of transport, such as UAM.
Module 9: Air Mobility Trajectory Planning
Professor Rodrigues from Concordia University in Montreal presents the basics of trajectory planning, also, he describes how infrastructure, social acceptance, sustainability, flight data and air traffic management, as well as the regulation and certification serve as most important pillars in air mobility.
Module 10: Economics of Urban Air Mobility
This module discusses some of the economic conditions (cost, demand, finance) that must be met for market viability of eVTOL vehicles in passenger transportation networks.
