Abstract

With the advent of industry 4.0 technologies like the artificial intelligence and the autonomous flight, 'Urban Air Mobility (UAM)' is being considered as an effective alternative to resolve the ground urban traffic congestion. Accordingly, many companies in the world including Korea are investigating on the development of UAM vehicles and operation systems. In this study, after identifying and classifying the essential elements of the UAM operation, the UAM system operational concept has been derived, then detailed analyses for each element has been performed. Based on the conceptual analysis of the UAM operation system, UAM flight routes in Seoul and Gyeong-In area have been established and confirmed to be operable through the performance analysis of UAM vehicles. The flight route analysis in this study is expected to be applied to UAM flight routes establishment in various cities in the future.

인공지능, 자율항법 등 4차 산업의 기술들이 발전하면서 도심항공교통(UAM)이 도심의 교통 체증에 대한 효과적인 대안으로 고려되고 있으며, 한국을 비롯한 세계의 많은 기업들이 비행체 개발과 운용 체계 연구를 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 도심항공교통의 운용에 필요한 요소들을 식별, 분류한 뒤 운용 체계 개념을 수립하였으며, 각 요소별로 세부적 고려사항들을 분석하였다. 운용 체계 개념 분석 결과를 기반으로 서울시와 경인권을 연결하는 도심항공교통 운항경로를 구축하였으며, 비행체의 성능 분석을 통하여 구축된 운항경로가 운용이 가능함을 확인하였다. 본 경로 분석연구는 추후 국내 여러 도시의 도심항공교통 운항경로 수립에 적용이 가능할 것으로 예측된다.
