This chapter is taken from a study performed for the Utah Department of Transportation in which the use of drones was compared to ground vehicles for package delivery. For more details, see Sacharny and Liu (Strategic deployment of Drone centers and fleet size planning for drone delivery, Report No. UT-21.33. Technical report, Utah Department of Transportation, Salt Lake City, UT, 2021). The research described here produces a state-wide airspace network, delivery schedule, and truck/drone fleet mix. Such airspace network is optimized to ensure that drones are strategically deconflicted as required by NASA, and the total energy over that day is minimized. Such an airspace network is realized in a web-based platform, named the Utah Advanced Air Mobility Simulator (UAAMS). UAAMS enables researchers, planners, and practitioners to record and update assumptions about the distribution of vertiports, traffic, population, and other requirements that may affect the operation of the transportation network.
