Urban aerial mobility (UAM) presents a high-speed travel solution, offering new perspectives on addressing congestion. Existing demand analyses for UAM do not consider its reciprocal feedback relationship with the inherent transportation system. This paper, grounded in the four-step transportation demand modeling theory, examines the impact of UAM on the transportation system and the quality of urban commuting in Shenzhen during peak hours. Our findings indicate: (1) UAM accounts for 5.24% of commuting demands; however, high costs could reduce this demand to 2.36%. (2) UAM commuters save over 50% of their travel time, with overall costs remaining unchanged. (3) While UAM enhances the overall efficiency of the transportation network, it exacerbates congestion around take-off and landing vertiports, which is a significant barrier to the large-scale development of UAM.

摘要

Urban aerial mobility (UAM) presents a high-speed travel solution, offering new perspectives on addressing congestion. Existing demand analyses for UAM do not consider its reciprocal feedback relationship with the inherent transportation system. This paper, grounded in the four-step transportation demand modeling theory, examines the impact of UAM on the transportation system and the quality of urban commuting in Shenzhen during peak hours. Our findings indicate: (1) UAM accounts for 5.24% of commuting demands; however, high costs could reduce this demand to 2.36%. (2) UAM commuters save over 50% of their travel time, with overall costs remaining unchanged. (3) While UAM enhances the overall efficiency of the transportation network, it exacerbates congestion around take-off and landing vertiports, which is a significant barrier to the large-scale development of UAM.
