More cities are seeking urban air mobility solutions to manage the flow of goods and services and decrease dependence on motorised vehicles to achieve environmental sustainability targets by reducing air pollution and minimising carbon emissions.  

The project will build and integrate a centralised platform, a global system for mobile communications (GMS), and a drone port to be piloted in selected European cities. 

Operational research algorithms are being developed by university partners and tested through real-time simulations. UAV flight demonstrations will also take place.

Businesses and local citizens will also benefit from the Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM) System which will make public services such as waste collection and delivery of goods more effective and efficient.
