Abstract

With the increases of average commuting time of office workers in the Seoul metropolitan area and the cost of traffic congestion on roads, the need for new transportation is increasing and urban air mobility (UAM) is emerging as an alternative. Therefore, in this paper, the vertiport locations were selected and routes were established using population, traffic and commuting data of Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. Vector thrust type and multicopter type of eVTOL compatible for UAM were selected by analyzing the types of eVTOLand time required for selected routes was calculated. In addition, the time required when we utilize other transportations was compared with UAM. Finally, it was verified that the commuting time can be sharply reduced when we use UAM.

수도권 지역 직장인들의 평균 출퇴근 시간이 증가하고 도로의 교통혼잡비용이 증가함에 따라 새로운 교통수단의 필요성이 증가하고 있고, 도심항공 모빌리티(UAM)가 그 대안으로 떠오르고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 인구, 교통량, 출퇴근 데이터를 이용하여 서울, 경기 지역에 UAM 수직 이착륙장 위치를 선정하고 운행 경로를 설정하였다. 전기 수직 이착륙 항공기(eVTOL)의 유형을 분석해 UAM에 적합한 추력편향형과 멀티콥터형 eVTOL을 선정하여 설정된 경로를 운행하였을 때 소요시간을 계산하였다. 또한 타 교통수단을 이용하였을 때 소요시간을 UAM 이용 시와 비교 분석하였다. 결과적으로 UAM을 이용한다면 출퇴근 시간이 대폭 줄어들 수 있음을 확인하였다.
