「드론법」 제정으로 드론의 법적 근거를 마련함과 항공안전법상의 안전규제를 유예 또는 면제시키는 등 드론산업 육성정책에도 불구하고 드론의 정의가 명확하지 않아서 상업적 활용을 위해서는 여전히 논의가 필요하다. 따라서, 국내외 사례조사와 현행 항공법의 문제점을 분석한 결과, 현행 드론법에서 「조종자가 탑승하지 아니하고, 자체중량이 150 kg 이하인 무인비행기」라고 정의되어 있으나, 실제 조종사가 탑승해야 하고 드론택시의 자체중량이 150 kg 이상인 점 등 여러 문제점이 발견되었다. 따라서 드론택시에 대한 정의로 "드론" 이란 원격·자동·자율 등의 방식에 따라 항행하는 비행체로서 국토교통부령으로 정하는 「항공안전법」 제2조제3호에 따른 무인비행장치(단, 자체중량이 300 kg이하 또는 무게 제한 없음) 또는 「항공안전법」 제2조 제6호에 따른 무인항공기로 정의할 것을 제안하였다.

The development status was studied to predict the concept of how drone taxis would be presented in daily life. the results of the analysis on traffic effects of drone taxis showed that they would be an innovative transportation option that could reach a distance of 60km, which would typically take an hour by car, within twenty minutes. Moreover, the economic analysis of existing aircraft development was limited to production (development investment) of the input budget. However, since the drone taxi is a new transportation system, an overall traffic platform, such as its own terminals, would need to be established. So, the production inducement effect was analyzed by dividing input budget into three factors; production, infrastructure, and service. The results indicate this to be an innovative project expected to have an economic ripple effect and reach a total of 24 trillion won after an investment of 13 trillion won (production + infrastructure + service) in Korea from 2020 to 2040.

UAM(Urban Air Mobility) systems have evolved in the form of helicopters in the 1960~1970s, tiltrotors in the 1980s, small aircraft transportation systems in the 2000s, and electric-powered Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) in the 2010s; accordingly, the early heliport has evolved to its current form of a Vertiport. Vertical Takeoff and Landing Sites, Vertiports, are important factors for the successful introduction of UAM, along with the resolution of air traffic control (ATC), air security, and noise problems. However, there are no domestic or international installation standards and guidelines yet. Therefore, in this study, installation standards were prepared by referring to domestic and international case studies, ICAO standards, and MIT research papers. The study proposes to establish standards for Final Approach and Takeoff Area (FATO) as 1.5D, 1D for Touchdown and Lift-Off Area (TLOF), and 1.5D for Safety Area (SA). It also proposes to add "UAM Vertiport Installation Standards" to the 「Act on the Promotion and Foundation of Drone Utilization, Drone Act」.

It is anticipated that there will be radical disputes over land ownership in the event of the advent of the era of UAM. As such, policy alternative is presented by analyzing and researching relevant laws at home and abroad on the means of legislating 'Regulations on compensation for use of air space above land' in preparation of such occurrence. As the results of the study, it is deemed to limit the range of the land ownership in accordance with UAM operation as follows. First, it is proposed to newly enact regulation to limit the ownership of air space of land owner to the public space above the elevation of 200m as stipulated under the Article 78 of the Aviation Safety Act. Second, as the result of analysis made for the option of making compensation from the perspective of the property right of land ownership and option of not making compensation from the perspectives of public interest and concerns in the event of operation of UAM within the air space below the elevation of 200m, it is deemed that legislative decision is necessary through more extensive studies in the future.

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) such as a drone taxi is one of the future transportations that have recently been attracting attention. Along with the construction of an urban terminal, an accurate landing system for UAM is also essential. However, in urban environments, reliable Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals cannot be received due to obstacles such as high-rise buildings which causes multipath and non-line of sight signal. Thus, the positioning result in urban environments from the GNSS signal is unreliable. Consequently, we propose the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) network to assist the soft landing of UAM on a vertiport. Since the positioning performance of UWB network depends on the layout of UWB anchors, it is necessary to optimize the layout of UWB anchors. In this paper, we propose a two-steps genetic algorithm that consists of binary genetic algorithm involved multi objectives fitness function and integer genetic algorithm involved robust solution searching fitness function in order to optimize taking into account Fresnel hole effects.

본 논문에서는 도심항공교통(UAM)을 위한 FAA와 EASA의 새 vertiport 규정을 분석하고 vertiport의 이착륙 패드(vertipad)의 주요 구성과 각 구성요소의 새로운 규격을 분석하였으며, 여러 환경에서의 UAM 운용을 위한 vertiport 추가 구성요소 및 주변 공역에 대한 규정도 함께 검토하였다. 이후, 현대자동차에서 개발 중인 S-A1 항공기의 크기를 기준으로 UAM 운용을 위한 국내 vertiport 규격 및 배치 방안에 대한 연구를 수행하고, 이를 인천광역시에 적용하였다. 또한, UAM 이용 시 효율을 평가를 위해, 인천과 서울 지역의 주요 거점에 대해 택시나 승용차 이용 시 소요되는 시간과 UAM 이용 시 소요시간을 비교하였다.
