The project developed a set of key performance indicators, methods and tools for the comprehensive and rigorous assessment of the impact of urban air mobility (UAM) operations on the quality of life in European cities, with particular focus on drone-generated noise and visual pollution. The project developed a new toolset capable of generating accurate drone 4D trajectories in urban areas, modelling UAM’s noise and visual footprints, high-resolution dynamic population mapping and calculation of population exposure indicators segmented by type of day and time of the day, citizens’ socio demographic profile, type of activity being performed and other relevant variables.
