Motivation, Concept, and Goals

Rethinking urban and regional mobility: Interdisciplinary research into the framework conditions and requirements of socially acceptable advanced air mobility implementation.

The new DFG Research Training Group (RTG) at TU Dresden on the "Technical and Operational Integration of Highly Automated Aviation in Urban Areas" (RTG 2947) will focus on so-called "Advanced Air Mobility" (AAM) and its necessary technical and social framework conditions.

Eleven networked research topics with a total duration of up to nine years (1st and 2nd funding period) are associated with the Research Training Group. Over the coming years, the research consortium of young scientists and established researchers aims to develop a scientific concept for a highly automated advanced air mobility system of the third dimension - considering technological, economic and social aspects.
