Urban air mobility: A comprehensive review and comparative analysis with autonomous and electric ground transportation for informing future research
Abstract
We compile a database of about 800 UAM, EV, and AV articles. We use insights from the EV and AV literature to inform future UAM research directions. UAM research has primarily focused on aircraft technologies and operations. EV and AV research has a greater emphasis on technology adoption and integration with existing infrastructure. To date, the majority of UAM research has been conducted by U.S. researchers.
