Short Description
Enabled by UAVs and eVTOLs, AAM is set to reshape urban and regional transportation and ease ground congestion, yet its realization demands holistic efforts to overcome multiple key challenges. The AAM Technical Committee serves as a collaborative forum for experts across sectors to tackle the challenges of AAM integration.
Goal
Our goal extends beyond pure technology to the broader ecosystem, with key objectives to (but not limited to):
- Develop and Promote Policy and Regulatory Frameworks: Create guidelines and best practices for the governance of AAM, including airspace management, safety certification, and operations that foster innovation while ensuring public safety and societal benefit.
- Advance Strategic Planning and Operational Concepts: Foster research and dialogue on the strategic planning of AAM networks, tactical operations, and the complex interactions between vehicle design, airspace use, and ground infrastructure.
- Assess System-wide Impacts and Integration: Evaluate the impacts of AAM on commuting patterns, urban design, logistics, and overall transportation congestion, with a focus on creating synergistic connections between air and ground mobility.
- Facilitate Standardization and Validation: Support the development of standards and validation methodologies for AAM technologies and operations, leveraging simulations, testbeds, and real-world data to transform concepts into safe, scalable, and implementable solutions.
Through this integrated approach, the Committee aims to accelerate the responsible development and deployment of AAM, ensuring it evolves into a cohesive, efficient, and beneficial component of the future transportation landscape.
Committee Activities
Activity Plan
- Workshop on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) at the 2026 IEEE ITSC conference and 2026 APTE conference
- Committee meeting with all members to establish the community and set up the work plan for the future
- Publication outlets (e.g., special issues in appropriate journals, e.g., Communications in Transportation Research, Transportation Research Part A, Transportation Research Part E)
