Abstract
Urban air mobility is a concept that promotes aerial modes of transport in urban areas. In these areas, the location and capacity of the vertiports - where the travelers embark and disembark the aircraft - not only affect flight delays, but can also aggravate the congestion of ground vehicles by creating extra ground travel demands. In this article, we introduce a mathematical model for selecting the location and capacity of the vertiports that minimizes traffic congestion in hybrid air-ground transportation networks. Our model is based on a mathematical program with bilinear equilibrium constraints. Furthermore, we show how to compute a global optimal solution to this mathematical program by solving a mixed-integer linear program. We demonstrate our results via the Anaheim transportation network model, which contains more than 400 nodes and 900 links.
