Future Mobility Operation Laboratory primarily focuses on conducting innovative studies related to Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operations. Our research efforts revolve around UAM traffic management, which involves developing efficient systems and strategies to ensure safe and seamless integration of UAM into urban airspace. Additionally, we specialize in vertiport capacity calculations, where we analyze and optimize the capacity of vertiports—the infrastructure hubs for UAM—to facilitate the growing demand for aerial transportation. Through our rigorous research, we aim to contribute to the advancement of UAM by addressing critical operational challenges and providing valuable insights for the future of urban transportation.
