Presented herein are details of the development of an Urban Air Mobility Traffic Analysis Tool (UAM TAT), designed to analyze the traffic of Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) air-craft in urban agglomerations to enable the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operations. The tool aims to address challenges of UAM operations in a simulated airspace by testing different scenarios and methods for air traffic management. It emphasizes the need for effective risk management practices and methodologies to ensure the safety of operations, given the increasing use of highly automated aircraft (i.e., Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)) in urban environments. The tool is modular and allows for the simulation of various families of VTOLs and different air traffic rules, making it suitable for defining and estimating airspace and vertiports capacity, determining VTOL requirements, and testing and comparing air traffic management methods. The results of five different simulations are presented that show the capabilities and functionalities of the tool. The simulations present the impact of vertiport hub operations and various ATM approach on the VTO Ls' conflicts.
