Overview of Urban Low Altitude Air Mobility and UAV Path Planning
With the increasingly serious urban traffic congestion and the intelligent development of socie-ty,the concept of urban air mobility(UAM)is gradually taking shape.In recent years,electric vertical takeoff and landing(eVTOL)aircraft have played an increasingly important role,and the operation of un-manned aerial vehicles(UAVs)in urban low altitude airspace should be more orderly managed.Firstly,the article provides a brief overview of the basic concepts of urban air mobility and its development and application status both domestically and internationally.Then,the concepts of urban low altitude airspace design,urban low altitude route planning,and urban low altitude UAV path planning methods were out-lined separately.Finally,based on the current research status at home and abroad,research prospects for urban low altitude air mobility are proposed from different perspectives.
