In this study, we consider the vertiport location problem within the framework of Urban Air Mobility (UAM). Vertiports serve as bases for air mobility vehicles, such as air taxis, electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, and drones. We pose the vertiport location problem as a hub location problem, as these facilities act as hubs where passengers travel from their homes to a vertiport, move between vertiports via air transportation, and then reach their final destination using ground transportation. Given the social and environmental costs associated with vertiports—such as noise, pollution, and safety risks—we formulate the problem as a semi-desirable hub location problem. Our weighted goal programming approach provides a compromise solution that accounts for the disutility imposed by the established vertiports and the total transportation cost. Disutility quantifies the negative impacts of the vertiports to the community while the transportation cost reflects the accessibility aspect of the vertiports.
