Abstract:Increasing the level of autonomy in both small aircraft and autos has the potential to generate greater efficiency and utility in multimodal regional transportation systems. In previous research, the PI and collaborators developed a computational analysis framework to assess the impact of aircraft technology advancement in electric propulsion and autonomy on the future of on-demand, regional air transportation system. A sensitivity analysis revealed increasing level of autonomy and an improved ride-sharing model (on the ground and in the air) could lead to significant increase in the total number of individuals who could afford this new mode of transportation. Activities in this CCAT project a) explored and then generated a model for the autonomous automobile option to enhance the impact of autonomy at a multi-modal level b) explored options for a connectivity metrics that could well-capture the efficacy of different multi-modal architectures. Outcome models, analysis, and metrics were successfully developed and used to inform a larger research effort developing a computational model for a project under NASA sponsorship (in which the NASA Technical Monitor served as government partner on this CCAT project).
