A Systematic Literature Review of the Urban Air Mobility Systems that Are Revolutionizing the Urban Transport

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) revolutionises urban transportation by integrating aerial vehicles. It encompasses electric aircraft, drones, and autonomous systems, and addresses traffic challenges. This analysis contextualises the evolution of UAM, drawing on pioneering studies. A systematic literature review, using the Web of Science database, reveals that UAM publications have increased, mainly from the United States. Key areas of focus within this field include vehicle design, energy management, and social impact, whereas the areas of optimisation and simulation exhibit comparatively less development. Results from the multiple correspondence analysis reveal three domains: technology and development, implementation and social acceptance, as well as safety and legal aspects. The broad scope of this analysis aids in understanding the transformative dynamics of urban mobility.
