Digital Twin-based Integrated Airspace Management for Urban Air Mobility Services: Architecture, Intent Modeling, and Deployment

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) represents a paradigm shift in metropolitan transportation, introducing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft into dense urban ecosystems. This transformation is driven by advances in electrification, digital infrastructure, and integrated airspace management. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Advanced Air Mobility National Strategy 2025, UAM is expected to become a cornerstone of multimodal urban transport, with commercial operations projected in multiple U.S. cities before 2030 [1].
