Abstract

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) commercialization is expanding to many countries and cities. The operation model of UAM is expected to be diverse, and the installation form for the ground infrastructure will vary depending on the operation model. Therefore, before the commercialization of UAM, it is necessary to derive a UAM operation model suitable for an urban area. A suitable UAM operation model is expected to vary depending on the spatial structure of this urban area, but research on this is insufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to categorize metropolitan areas based on its urban spatial structural characteristics related to UAM operation and to propose a UAM operation model suitable for each type. This study analyzed Functional Urban Areas (FUA) classified by the OECD. FUAs with a population of more than 1.5 million were extracted, and 105 FUAs from 23 countries were included in this study. By constructing urban spatial structure characteristic variable data related to UAM operation, factor analysis was conducted, and cluster analysis was performed using these factor scores. The analysis results revealed four types of FUA were derived: a sprawl metropolitan area, a multi-centered urban area, a low-income high-density urban area, and a high-income low-density urban area. MaaS and Air Metro models were suitable for the sprawl metropolitan area. For multi-centered urban areas, the PAV and Air Taxi models were suitable. The Air Metro model was suitable for low-income high-density urban areas. Lastly, the PAV and Air Taxi models were suitable for high-income low-density urban areas.
