“…Currently, there are so far no Verti-X-specific standards, and the industry remains unaligned on the technical visions and needs for vertiports. Thus, the design criteria of Verti-X are established and adapted to the existed criteria of helipad and heliport (Amoroso et al, 2012). There are three critical areas of a helipad, namely TLOF, Final Approach and Take-off (FATO), and Safety Area (SA).…”

This paper will adopt the Munich Agile Concepts (MAGIC) on the design of Vertistops and Vertiports (Verti-X) for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Systems. Vertiports and Vertistops are single or multi-landing spaces for air taxis, which are electric-powered vertical take-off and landing (eVTOLs) aircraft. The target of this paper is to apply a holistic approach how to design so called Verti-X in a holistic and system of system method from the Requirement-, Function-. Architecture- and the Implementation phase. The MAGIC approach contains all of the requierd phases which are necessary to build up such a complex design of Verti-X. Therefore, based on the literature survey, we have determined the key components of the Verti-X design with a thorough requirement analysis. Then, we have followed the existed criteria and regulations to design a valid and verified Verti-X which fulfills all the requirement. Furthermore, the focus of this paper is to apply the first four phases of MAGIC regarding the requirement, function, architecture and the implementation of such Verti-X Design.

“…As stated previously, the authors are working on the improvement of the assessment of accident‐induced travel delays throughout the network. This will allow more comprehensive before–after analyses of road safety measures like the installation of roundabouts taking into account all the effects on travel time and its economic value [38, 39]: the increase in travel time caused by the roundabout, but also the expected saving due to a reduced rate of severe accidents which decreases accident‐induced travel delays.…”

“…In particular, to judge technically and economically the feasibility of the potential links individuated, the authors have previously considered the demand that moves between the identified origin-destination pairs, in absolute terms. Subsequently, through the use of mixed logit models, they have determined the potential modal split that can define the demand "attracted" by the helicopter services (Amoroso et al, 2012a(Amoroso et al, , 2012b.…”

Purpose - This paper aims to identify the parameters that influence the cost competitiveness of helicopter services for scheduled passenger transport on a regional area. Design/methodology/approach - The approach used is based on an analysis of demand and on a bi-level model (modal split model - service supply optimization model) optimization. Performance optimization in the supply of helicopter transport services is obtained by a sensitivity analysis on the recognized cost factors. Findings - The identification of the variation margins in the cost factors that might make an helicopter competitive for scheduled passenger services. Research limitations/implications - The inability to consider the totality of the helicopters today on the market due to lack of available data on their cost structure. Practical implications - It is represented by the opportunity of the spread of the helicopter through the strengthening of the competitive position in relation to other transport modes for passenger transport services. Social implications - It is represented by the ability to provide air transport services less expensive on the routes that connect the mainland with small islands, especially during the months when the sea conditions do not allow the naval connection causing the insulation phenomenon. Originality/value - Today, there is a lack of papers dealing with the issue of the performance of the helicopters from the point of view of the transport planner, considering what should be the characteristics of the aircraft to ensure performance to consistent designed services
