Do you Feel Safe? How Weather Conditions and Time of Day Affect the Feeling of Safety in Passenger Drones

Published: 18 September 2023 Publication History

Abstract

Urban air mobility has attracted a lot of attention recently and will become more and more prevalent and established as a new form of mobility in the coming years. However, it should not be ignored that numerous people are skeptical of new technologies and reject them. This applies in particular to safety-critical areas such as (autonomous) flying. We created this demo setup to address community concerns and identify acceptance criteria together with the public. The demo allows viewers to experience flight scenarios in different conditions (day/night; normal weather/rain/snow/fog) in a true-to-scale mock-up of a passenger drone. This demonstrator will provide insight into this future transportation option, creating a space for open discussion.
