    因果意识特征融合DeepONet Mamba模型用于eVTOL垂直港需求预测

    Accurate demand forecasting is a prerequisite for eVTOL vertiport dispatch, pad staffing, battery service planning, and access management, yet short-horizon demand is affected by confounded interactions among weather, road access, queue feedback, aircraft availability, and pricing interventions. This study evaluates the proposed model on a synthetic but engineering-constrained eight-vertiport network, so the reported results should be interpreted as controlled methodological evidence rather than direct commercial demand measurement. The paper proposes a Causal Aware Feature Fusion DeepONet Mamba model that learns a function-to-function mapping from urban mobility states to vertiport demand fields. Causal gates separate contextual variables, network states, and intervention-sensitive variables before a Mamba branch encoder and coordinate-aware DeepONet trunk produce interval demand forecasts. Experiments with 184 simulated operating days show that the proposed model achieves an MAE of 18.7 requests per 15-minute interval, reducing error by 15.6% relative to the strongest non-causal baseline. Peak interval error decreases to 54 requests, 0.9-quantile pinball loss decreases to 11.3, and scenario ranking error is reduced by 32.8% compared with Mamba without causal fusion. Spatial transfer tests, missing-sensor experiments, and capacity-restriction scenarios indicate that causal feature control improves robustness when operating conditions deviate from ordinary correlations. The results show that combining causal fusion, neural operator learning, and selective state-space memory

    通过机器学习和实验验证在复杂城市拓扑中基于风速的快速飞行计划

    Advanced air mobility operations hold the potential to enhance and expand regional transportation of both people and goods in populated areas. However, hazardous flight conditions arising from interactions between wind and the built environment remain a significant challenge for aerial vehicles in urban settings. This work proposes a novel framework towards safe flight planning of aerial vehicles in windy urban environments. A learning-based surrogate model is trained to rapidly predict flow fields from readily available information such as building geometry and incident wind. This surrogate prediction is used to calculate a volumetric flight challenge scalar field based on critical flow parameters and proximity to structures. A safe, flow-informed flight trajectory is then identified through a cost-minimizing pathfinder. The complete system is demonstrated experimentally through flight tests of a micro aerial vehicle through a model urban geometry placed in a large fan-array wind tunnel. Comparing this approach to trajectories generated without knowledge of the wind field, we find the flow-informed approach reduces undesired vehicle displacement and improves flight stability. This work is among the first practical demonstrations of safe, wind-aware methodologies for advanced air mobility in urban environments.(预印本;同行评审状态请核对原文。)

    基于距离的补贴率设计以激励网约车接入先进空中交通枢纽

    The success of advanced air mobility (AAM) operations is largely contingent on its effective integration with other ground transport modes. Under many use cases, AAM operators have to work with ride-hailing operators to create a seamless air taxi travel experience with adequate first and last-mile access. In investigating this multimodal coalition, this study proposes a distance-based subsidy rate design for AAM operators to incentivize ride-hail access to AAM hubs, incorporating air mobility operators' profitability considerations and travelers' route choices jointly. Using New York City (NYC) airport access as a case study, this study integrates high-volume for-hire vehicle (HVFHV) data from NYC taxi zones to consider real-world spatial demand distributions while considering passenger groups with different values of time (VOT) to derive insights on distinctive customer bases. Overall, the results show that AAM operators would need to subsidize the ride-hailing operators on vertiport access trips when air taxi operating costs exceed $12/mi. The analysis of ridership at AAM hubs indicates that ridership and profit contributions differ across different candidate vertiports in Manhattan, reflecting spatial demand heterogeneity. Additionally, having the airport access system in place, the taxi zones that generate the highest passenger demand to all three major NYC airports are identified under lower air taxi fare scenarios. These findings highlight how a distance-based subsidy rate design is beneficial in facilitating better access to vertiports and to foster high air taxi rid(预印本;同行评审状态请核对原文。)

    像Uber还是像公交车?UAM用于机场接入的经济可行性分析

    机场接入用例是城市空中交通(UAM)早期阶段具有前景的应用。理解UAM在机场的运营模式对于制定公平且有效的监管和管理决策至关重要。一个核心的开放问题是UAM是否会像地铁和铁路这样的常规定期运输服务一样被整合进机场交通网络,还是像交通运输网络公司(TNC)那样以动态供需匹配为特征。在本文中,我们提出一个两阶段框架,用于开展UAM网络的经济可行性分析。在第一阶段,我们引入了一个联合供需变量定价问题,以评估动态定价对UAM运营的影响。该模型使用二元Logit公式来捕捉出行时间优势与票价水平之间的权衡。在第二阶段,确定的需求作为输入用于非线性充电时间的电动城市空中交通车辆路径问题(eUAMVRP-NL),以优化车队调度和充电决策,从而得出运营收入和成本估算。我们将该框架应用于洛杉矶国际机场(LAX)接入市场的案例研究,该案例包含一个八辐状垂直港口网络。我们的结果表明,UAM运营显著受益于类似TNC的管理;相比固定定价方案,可变定价政策可使运营利润增加超过100%。此外,我们识别出较长UAM飞行中的阶段长度经济性。(预印本;同行评审状态请核对原文。)

    高密度空域中冲突解决下的eVTOL飞行器能耗顶值估算

    Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft operating in high-density urban airspace must maintain safe separation through tactical conflict resolution, yet the energy cost of such maneuvers has not been systematically quantified. This paper investigates how conflict-resolution maneuvers under the Modified Voltage Potential (MVP) algorithm affect eVTOL energy consumption. Using a physics-based power model integrated within a traffic simulation, we analyze approximately 71,767 en route sections within a sector, across traffic densities of 10-60 simultaneous aircraft. The main finding is that MVP-based deconfliction is energy-efficient: median energy overhead remains below 1.5% across all density levels, and the majority of en route flights within the sector incur negligible penalty. However, the distribution exhibits pronounced right-skewness, with tail cases reaching 44% overhead at the highest densities due to sustained multi-aircraft conflicts. The 95th percentile ranges from 3.84% to 5.3%, suggesting that a 4-5% reserve margin accommodates the vast majority of tactical deconfliction scenarios. To support operational planning, we develop a machine learning model that estimates energy overhead at mission initiation. Because conflict outcomes depend on future traffic interactions that cannot be known in advance, the model provides both point estimates and uncertainty bounds. These bounds are conservative; actual outcomes fall within the predicted range more often than the stated confidence level, making them suitable for safety-critical reserve planning.

    低空经济中的高空平台:连接通信、计算与监管

    The Low-Altitude Economy (LAE) is rapidly emerging as a new technological and industrial frontier, with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and aerial swarms increasingly deployed in logistics, infrastructure inspection, security, and emergency response. However, the large-scale development of the LAE demands a reliable aerial foundation that ensures not only real-time connectivity and computational support, but also navigation integrity and safe airspace management for safety-critical operations. High-Altitude Platforms (HAPs), positioned at around 20 km, provide a unique balance between wide-area coverage and low-latency responsiveness. Compared with low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, HAPs are closer to end users and thus capable of delivering millisecond-level connectivity, fine-grained regulatory oversight, and powerful onboard computing and caching resources. Beyond connectivity and computation, HAPs-assisted sensing and regulation further enable navigation integrity and airspace trust, which are essential for safety-critical UAV and eVTOL operations in the LAE. This article proposes a five-stage evolutionary roadmap for HAPs in the LAE: from serving as aerial infrastructure bases, to becoming super back-ends for UAV, to acting as frontline support for ground users, further enabling swarm-scale UAV coordination, and ultimately advancing toward edge-air-cloud closed-loop autonomy. In parallel, HAPs complement LEO satellites and cloud infrastructures to form a global-regional-local three-tier architecture. Looking forwa(预印本;同行评审状态请核对原文。)

    基于卡尔曼滤波的飞行管理系统建模用于空中交通(AAM)飞机

    Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations are planned to utilize strategic flight planning services that predict temporal uncertainties to validate flight plans against hazards such as weather cells, restricted airspaces, and CNS disruption areas. This paper presents a Kalman Filter-based uncertainty propagation method that models Flight Management System (FMS) correction behavior through a sigmoid-blended measurement noise covariance. The sigmoid formulation generalizes existing discrete FMS activation thresholds into a continuous, tunable function that smoothly transitions the filter's measurement noise based on progress toward each waypoint. When the measurement noise is high, due to an inverse relationship, the Kalman gain is small and thus uncertainty grows; as the aircraft nears a waypoint, measurement noise decreases as a function of progress, the Kalman gain increases, and state covariance contracts which models the FMS progressively correcting toward the planned trajectory. The approach is computationally efficient (up to two orders of magnitude faster than Monte Carlo methods), scales with control inputs, and is parametrically tunable for different classes of aircraft. The measurement noise covariance is calibrated using real Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data from commercial Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) flights serving as surrogates for future AAM operations, achieving coverage probability conservative relative to theoretical Gaussian predictions at the 1-sigma confidence level on a hold out verification dataset (N = 36).

    基于堆叠智能超表面的eVTOL延迟敏感通信

    With rapid urbanization and increasing population density, urban traffic congestion has become a critical issue, and traditional ground transportation methods are no longer sufficient to address it effectively. To tackle this challenge, the concept of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) has emerged, aiming to utilize low-altitude airspace to establish a three-dimensional transportation system. Among various components of the AAM system, electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft plays a pivotal role due to their flexibility and efficiency. However, the immaturity of Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) technologies poses significant challenges to safety-critical AAM operations. Specifically, existing Stacked Intelligent Metasurfaces (SIM)-based eVTOL systems lack rigorous mathematical frameworks to quantify probabilistic delay bounds under dynamic air traffic patterns, a prerequisite for collision avoidance and airspace management. To bridge this gap, we employ network calculus tools to derive the probabilistic upper bound on communication delay in the AAM system for the first time. Furthermore, we formulate a complex non-convex optimization problem that jointly minimizes the probabilistic delay bound and the propagation delay. To solve this problem efficiently, we propose a solution based on the Block Coordinate Descent (BCD) algorithm and Semidefinite Relaxation (SDR) method. In addition, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of how various factors impact regret and transmission rate, and explore the influence of varying load intensity and total delay on th(预印本;同行评审状态请核对原文。)

    基于数字孪生的SIM通信与飞行控制用于先进空中交通

    Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing vehicles (eVTOLs) are driving Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) toward transforming urban transportation by extending travel from congested ground networks to low-altitude airspace. This transition promises to reduce traffic congestion and significantly shorten commute times. To ensure aviation safety, eVTOLs must fly within prescribed flight corridors. These corridors are managed by ground-based Air Traffic Control (ATCo) stations, which oversee air-ground communication and flight scheduling. However, one critical challenge remains: the lack of high rate air-ground communication and safe flight planning within these corridors. The introduction of 6G-oriented Stacked Intelligent Metasurface (SIM) technology presents a high rate communication solution. With advanced phase-shifting capabilities, SIM enables precise wireless signal control and supports beam-tracking communication with eVTOLs. Leveraging this technology, we propose a Composite Potential Field (CPF) approach. This method dynamically integrates target, separation, and communication fields to optimize both SIM communication efficiency and flight safety. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of this DT-based approach. Compared to the potential field flight control benchmark, it improves the transmission rate by 8.3\%. Additionally, it reduces flight distance deviation from the prescribed corridor by 10\% compared to predetermined optimization methods.(预印本;同行评审状态请核对原文。)

    利用随机优化的先进空中交通飞机制造集成供应链网络设计

    Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft manufacturers await numerous pre-orders for eVTOLs and expect demand for such advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft to rise dramatically soon. However, eVTOL manufacturers (EMs) cannot commence mass production of commercial eVTOLs due to a lack of supply chain planning for eVTOL manufacturing. The eVTOL supply chain differs from traditional ones due to stringent quality standards and limited suppliers for eVTOL parts, shortages in skilled labor and machinery, and contract renegotiations with major aerospace suppliers. The emerging AAM aircraft market introduces uncertainties in supplier pricing and capacities, eVTOL manufacturing costs, and eVTOL demand, further compounding the supply chain planning challenges for EMs. Despite this critical need, no study has been conducted to develop a comprehensive supply chain planning model for EMs. To address this research gap, we propose a stochastic optimization model for integrated supply chain planning of EMs while maximizing their operating profits under the abovementioned uncertainties. We conduct various numerical cases to analyze the impact of 1) endogenous eVTOL demand influenced by the quality of eVTOLs, 2) supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical conflicts and resource scarcity, and 3) high-volume eVTOL demand similar to that experienced by automotive manufacturers, on EM supply chain planning. The results indicate that our proposed model is adaptable in all cases and outperforms established benchmark stochastic models. The findings suggest that EMs can commence ma(预印本;同行评审状态请核对原文。)

    城市空中交通的自组织自由飞行到达

    Urban air mobility is an innovative mode of transportation in which electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles operate between nodes called vertiports. We outline a self-organized vertiport arrival system based on deep reinforcement learning. The airspace around the vertiport is assumed to be circular, and the vehicles can freely operate inside. Each aircraft is considered an individual agent and follows a shared policy, resulting in decentralized actions that are based on local information. We investigate the development of the reinforcement learning policy during training and illustrate how the algorithm moves from suboptimal local holding patterns to a safe and efficient final policy. The latter is validated in simulation-based scenarios, including robustness analyses against sensor noise and a changing distribution of inbound traffic. Lastly, we deploy the final policy on small-scale unmanned aerial vehicles to showcase its real-world usability.(预印本;同行评审状态请核对原文。)
