Abstract

The research paper explores the potential benefits of integrating electric Vertical TakeOff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft into emergency medical services (EMS) in the ASEAN-5 countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore). The study addresses significant urban traffic congestion, which hinders efficient emergency response, and evaluates how eVTOL EMS can mitigate these issues. The methodology employs a mixed-method approach over six months, combining qualitative case studies and quantitative surveys to assess public perception, operational challenges, and the effectiveness of eVTOL EMS. Key findings indicate high public support for eVTOL EMS, primarily due to anticipated faster response times and reduced traffic delays. However, challenges such as regulatory differences, infrastructure limitations, and workforce constraints must be addressed to implement eVTOL EMS successfully. The paper concludes that while eVTOL EMS shows promise, further research and strategic planning are essential to optimize its integration into the ASEAN region's urban emergency services and a proposed structure for future ICAO annexes.

先进的空中机动能力（AAM）和紧急服务：东南亚国家联盟（东盟）案例研究

该研究报告探讨了在东盟五国（印度尼西亚、马来西亚、菲律宾、泰国和新加坡）将电动垂直起降（eVTOL）飞机整合到紧急医疗服务（EMS）中的潜在效益。该研究解决了严重的城市交通拥堵问题，这阻碍了有效的应急响应，并评估了eVTOL EMS如何缓解这些问题。该方法采用混合方法，为期6个月，结合定性案例研究和定量调查，评估公众对eVTOL EMS的看法、运营挑战和有效性。主要调查结果表明，eVTOL EMS得到了公众的高度支持，主要原因是预期响应时间更快，交通延误减少。然而，要成功实现eVTOL EMS，必须解决法规差异、基础设施限制和劳动力约束等挑战。该文件的结论是，虽然eVTOL EMS显示出前景，但必须进一步进行研究和战略规划，以优化其融入东盟区域的城市应急服务和拟议的国际民航组织未来附件结构。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Air Transport Management (JATM) sets out to address, through high quality research articles and authoritative commentary, the major economic, management and policy issues facing the air transport industry today. It offers practitioners and academics an international and dynamic forum for analysis and discussion of these issues, linking research and practice and stimulating interaction between the two. The refereed papers in the journal cover all the major sectors of the industry (airlines, airports, air traffic management) as well as related areas such as tourism management and logistics. Papers are blind reviewed, normally by two referees, chosen for their specialist knowledge. The journal provides independent, original and rigorous analysis in the areas of: • Policy, regulation and law • Strategy • Operations • Marketing • Economics and finance • Sustainability
