Impact and capacity Assessment Framework for U-space Societal Acceptance (ImAFUSA)

ImAFUSA侧重于量化各种未充分研究的因素，这些因素影响城市，城郊和城市间地区对UAM的社会接受度，特别是当这些因素使用U3和U4服务部署时。我们的目标是提供一个“U-space社会接受度影响和能力评估框架”（ImAFUSA），以协助地方当局和其他U-space利益相关者和用户在城市中提供社会可接受和有益的UAM部署。该框架及其工具将在影响社会接受度的三个主要领域提供见解：环境影响（包括噪音，视觉污染和空气质量），安全和社会经济影响（包括可负担性，可达性，经济发展，公共空间使用和连通性）。在每个领域，将描述创新的业绩指标，同时将制定数学公式和算法来量化这些指标。在希腊雅典市的3次沉浸式公民UAM应用体验中，将收集公民噪音感知、视觉污染感知、安全感知和整体UAM接受度的数据。将在一个模拟环境中测试所开发指标的可用性，该环境模拟U-空间中不同数量和运动配置的真实的未来用例。通过合作伙伴和咨询委员会的合作，ImAFUSA促进高等教育（HEI），创新型中小企业，地方当局和国家航空当局之间的知识和10种创新工具的流动和共同创造。ImAFUSA的发展使各种利益相关者受益，包括地方当局，政策制定者，U-space服务提供商，ATM/UTM规划者和运营商，无人机制造商，环境机构和公民。

ImAFUSA focuses on quantifying a variety of understudied factors influencing societal acceptance of UAM in urban, peri-urban and inter-urban areas, especially when these are deployed using U3 and U4 services. We aim to deliver an “Impact and capacity Assessment Framework for U-space Societal Acceptance” (ImAFUSA) to assist Local Authorities and other U-space stakeholders and users with the delivery of socially acceptable and beneficial UAM deployment in cities. The framework and its tools will provide insights in 3 major areas influencing societal acceptance: environmental impact (including noise, visual pollution and air quality), safety and socioeconomic impact (including affordability, accessibility, economic development, public space use and connectivity). In each area, innovative performance indicators will be described while mathematical formulas and algorithms will be developed to quantify them. Data on citizen noise perceptions, perceptions on visual pollution, safety perceptions and overall UAM acceptance will be collected during 3 immersive citizen experiences of UAM applications in the city of Athens, Greece. The usability of the developed indicators will be tested in a simulation environment simulating real future use cases with a varying volume and configuration of movements in U-space. Through the collaboration of the Partners and the Advisory Board, ImAFUSA facilitates the flow and co-creation of knowledge and 10 innovative tools between higher education (HEI), innovative SMEs, Local Authorities and National Aviation Authorities. ImAFUSA ´s developments benefit a variety of stakeholders including Local Authorities, policy-makers, U-space service providers, ATM/UTM planners and operators, drone manufacturers, environmental agencies and citizens above all.
