An exploratory empirical analysis of willingness to hire and pay for flying taxis and shared flying car services

An exploratory investigation of public perceptions towards safety and security from the future use of flying cars in the United States

“…On the contrary, 48.58% and 10.06% respondents indicated that their residences are located at suburban and rural areas, respectively. For additional studies conducted based on the aforementioned survey data, please see Ahmed et al, 2019and Eker et al, (2019a, 2019b. Table 1 presents the responses of individuals' perceptions regarding the safety and security concerns of flying cars as well as regarding potential measures that may enhance the security of flying cars.…”

“…Having semi-or fully-autonomous capabilities for vertical take-off and landing, the operation of flying cars will not significantly differ from conventional personal vehicles during the on-ground operation, and from personal jets during the in-air operation. With provisions for two to four passengers, flying cars are expected to accommodate trips on a distance up to 500 miles, requiring not more than 100 feet (in diameter) clearance zones at the trip origin and destination (see Eker et al, 2019a;Eker et al, 2019b;Ahmed et al, 2019). Recent developments and announcements have shown that flying cars are expected to be introduced in the automotive and aviation market between 2020 and 2025 (Becker, 2017;Oppitz and Tomsu, 2018).…”

Exploring mobility pattern changes between before, during and after COVID-19 lockdown periods for young adults

“…To address this linkage, a bivariate binary probit regression mode was developed. Bivariate probit regression models have been used widely in transportation research ( Ahmed et al, 2020 ; Ahmed et al, 2021 ; Anastasopoulos et al, 2012 ; Milioti et al, 2015 ). Their popularity is attributed to the fact that in many cases, transport-related choices are closely related to each other and are influenced by similar variables.…”

“…Their popularity is attributed to the fact that in many cases, transport-related choices are closely related to each other and are influenced by similar variables. For instance, Anastasopoulos et al (2012) used this type of model to examine the variables affecting automobile and motorcycle ownership, while Ahmed et al (2021) used it for identifying the factors affecting the willingness of the public to hire and pay for flying taxis.…”
