Evaluation of Initial and Midterm Air Traffic Procedures for Urban Air Mobility Operations

This paper describes a follow-on joint human-in-the loop (HITL) simulation effort by NASA and Joby Aviation that builds on the results of these previous studies. It extends that work by comparing the LOA condition for Initial UAM operations to Midterm operations that includes corridor airspace structures and some other changes to the operating environment. This is the first reported air traffic controller-in-the-loop evaluation of the corridor condition in a high-fidelity simulation environment. The following sections describe the routes, scenarios, and operating conditions along with metrics used to evaluate feasibility from the air traffic controllers’ perspectives. The results section presents the traffic levels that were feasible in each condition and concludes with recommendations for extending the scope and applicability of evaluations like this one in the future.
