Project Ambition

ImAFUSA is set to unlock groundbreaking insights into three key areas that influence societal acceptance of UAM:

  1. Environmental Impact: Tackling issues such as noise, visual pollution, and air quality head-on.
  2. Safety: Ensuring that UAM becomes a synonym for safety, instilling confidence in every citizen.
  3. Socio-Economic Impact: Making UAM accessible, affordable, and contributing to economic development while optimising public space use and connectivity.

In order to measure the above, ImAFUSA is pioneering the creation of mathematical formulas and algorithms to quantify innovative performance indicators. This approach will contribute to the designation of Sustainable Urban Air Mobility Indicators (SUAMI) empowering stakeholders to make more informed, responsible, sustainable and socially accepted decisions.

 

How does Future Needs participate?

Future Needs leads the dissemination activities and the activities for development of socioeconomic impact assessment indicators. Additionally, Future Needs leads the Setting the Scene for UAM assessment Work Package. This work package has the following objectives:

  • Review of current impact and capacity assessment frameworks and indicators for UAM, transport and mobility services
  • Envision use cases of UAM and their expected impacts
  • Identify user needs for an impact and capacity assessment tool
  • Deduct key performance areas and objectives

Social engagement

ImAFUSA will also be engaging directly with citizens through three immersive UAM experiences in Athens, Greece. Collecting valuable data on loudness, visual pollution, safety perceptions, and overall UAM acceptance, the project is on the pulse of public sentiment. 

But that’s not all! ImAFUSA will put its indicators to the test in a cutting-edge simulation environment, mimicking real-world U-space scenarios of varying volumes and configurations. 

This project is expected to have a significant impact in the socially acceptable deployment of a UAM, through sustainable indicators. Brace yourselves for an era where UAM enhances sustainable mobility, elevates business performance, connects citizens, and triggers economic activity in urban and peri-urban areas.
