TECH FOCUS: UrBAN MOBiliTy/UAM Urban Air Mobility A dream not so trivial infrastructure is effectively integrated into the overarching urban transportation system. Objectives of smart mobility initiatives, including vehicle-tovehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure elements. problems and better integration across all mobility modes. Infrastructure aspects are a crucial part of UAM services. The technologies that enable UAM are still emerging and maturing and require complementary infrastructure to enable UAM vehicles to operate effectively. Infrastructure must also be designed to accommodate multimodal trips and support the traveler from origin to ultimate destination. This requires that UAM Unsettled Issues in Advanced Air Mobility Certification Advanced air mobility (AAM) refers to urban transportation systems that move people and goods by air. This has significant implications for reducing traffic congestion in cities and providing an integrated approach to urban mobility. With the emergence of drone technology and the possibility of more autonomous aircraft, interest has grown considerably in AAM. The topic impacts private sector solution providers, including aerospace and technology companies. It is also of considerable concern to urban planners and transportation professionals seeking solutions to urban transportation problems by better integration across all modes. This is one of the crucial aspects of AAM.
