Abstract

Vertiports are essential hubs for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) airport shuttles, however, passenger choice behavior in vertiports remains underexplored. In this paper, we conducted a stated choice experiment in Beijing and applied a mixed logit model with interaction effects to examine passengers’ heterogeneous choice preferences in the context of synchronized UAM and airline services. Results show passengers generally prefer small, nearby vertiports, integrated with public transport, and equipped with multiple facilities and services. Preferences vary notably among middle-income groups (100,000–200,000 CNY/year), and passengers with helicopter experience prefer less proximate vertiports due to noise and privacy concerns. Elasticity analyses underscore the critical influence of access distance, providing valuable insights for policymakers and UAM service providers in infrastructure planning and development.

乘客对综合城市空中交通和航空服务的垂直选择

垂直机场是城市空中交通（UAM）机场穿梭的重要枢纽，然而，垂直机场的乘客选择行为仍未得到充分研究。本文在北京进行了一项陈述性选择实验，并应用具有交互效应的混合logit模型，研究了同步UAM和航空公司服务背景下乘客的异质选择偏好。结果显示，乘客通常更喜欢小型、附近的垂直机场，与公共交通相结合，并配备多种设施和服务。中等收入群体（10 - 20万元/年）的偏好差异很大，有直升机经验的乘客由于噪音和隐私问题更喜欢距离较近的垂直机场。弹性分析强调了接入距离的关键影响，为基础设施规划和发展的决策者和UAM服务提供商提供了有价值的见解。

期刊介绍： Transport Policy is an international journal aimed at bridging the gap between theory and practice in transport. Its subject areas reflect the concerns of policymakers in government, industry, voluntary organisations and the public at large, providing independent, original and rigorous analysis to understand how policy decisions have been taken, monitor their effects, and suggest how they may be improved. The journal treats the transport sector comprehensively, and in the context of other sectors including energy, housing, industry and planning. All modes are covered: land, sea and air; road and rail; public and private; motorised and non-motorised; passenger and freight.
