COMPARING THE CAPACITY OF DIFFERENT VERTIPORT TOPOLOGIES USING DISCRETE EVENT SIMULATION

E. Wille, RWTH Aachen University, Germany

Vertiports are considered to be a major barrier to UAM adoption. Vertiport capacity depends on the size and topology of the vertiport as well as on the operational conditions. This work presents a discrete event simulation framework to analyze the vertiport capacity for different infrastructure and operational scenarios.
