Abstract

With growing populations in metropolitan areas and increasing individual traffic, new, safe and efficient transport modes are being explored to meet rising social and environmental demands. So-called Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), which are autonomously controlled and capable of vertical take-off and landing, allow for a range of different use cases, including the transport of packages, medical goods, or passengers. Manufacturers such as Airbus, Lilium or Volocopter already have successfully carried out the first test flights with unmanned drones in Germany, underlining their ambitions to launch UAM operations in the near future. However, next to technological, legal and infrastructural barriers, one of the main challenges ahead of market introduction is the acceptance of UAM operations by potential users and the public. Therefore, the goal of this research is to explore public acceptance of various use cases of Urban Air Mobility as well as the factors that influence the individuals’ intention to use UAM services in the future.
