Service Design and Fleet Management for Low-altitude Economy

课程简介

/ Indicative Syllabus Operations management in low-altitude transport: Decisions on helipad and vertiport locations, construction of service networks, fleet assignments, flight timetable design, queueing analysis, and vehicle routing for drones, electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and other aerial vehicles. Multi-modal transportation: Game theory analysis, analysis of collaboration and competition between different transport modes, synchronization of timetables, and strategies for demand analysis and pricing in low-altitude transport. Service design in special context: Complex network theory, point-to- point/hub-and-spoke, network model; helipad/miniport for eVTOL; Derivation of objectives and constraints for drone applications in parcel delivery and rescue logistics, model construction, and implementation. -- 1 of 3 -- 2 Moreover, the background knowledge of the business planning and project management will also be introduced.

目标
