Passengers’ vertiport choices for integrated urban air mobility and airline services
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.
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.
