[0001] The present invention relates to an integrated control system for air mobility operation and a control method thereof.

[0002]

[0003] The demand for exhaust gas reduction to prevent global warming and the global UAM market are rapidly forming.

[0004] In other words, new technology development and a revolution in the transportation sector are needed to reduce emissions from ground transportation systems, which account for approximately 16% of carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, the construction of an urban air transportation system and its linkage with the ground transportation system are necessary to improve the problem of ground traffic congestion and the resulting deterioration of the urban environment, which is worsening due to urban development.

[0005] A vertical takeoff and landing (Vertiport) is a landing pad for air mobility, comprising a landing pad and a hangar. Air vehicles can be moved from the landing pad to the hangar for recharging, maintenance, and other purposes.

[0006] As air mobility adopts electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL), dispatching based on battery capacity can become a very important factor in operation management.

[0007] However, specific technologies for integrated control of air mobility have not yet been secured.

[0008]

[0009] The present invention provides an integrated control system for air mobility operation and a control method thereof, which can check the battery capacity of air mobility and use the battery capacity to dispatch aircraft in accordance with an operation schedule.

[0010] The present invention provides an integrated control system for air mobility operation and a control method thereof, which can check the battery capacity of an air mobility scheduled to land at a departure vertiport and use the battery capacity to dispatch the air mobility in accordance with the operation schedule.

[0011] The present invention provides an integrated control system for air mobility operation and a control method thereof that can dispatch aircraft in accordance with an operation schedule by utilizing air mobility of a transit vertiport near an operation route.

[0012] The present invention provides an integrated control system for air mobility operations and a control method thereof that can dispatch aircraft in accordance with an operation schedule by using a connected transportation means of a transit port near an operation route.

[0013] The present invention provides an integrated control system for air mobility operation and a control method thereof capable of selectively charging air mobility at high speed and dispatching aircraft according to a flight schedule using charging time data.

[0014] The present invention is to provide users with the most seamless transportation system possible by considering and incorporating eVTOL charging into the existing MaaS (Mobility as a Service).

[0015]

[0016] An integrated control system for air mobility operation according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an air mobility battery confirmation module that confirms the battery capacity of an air mobility parked at a vertiport, an operation-related battery calculation module that confirms a flight distance according to operation information and calculates a battery capacity for the flight distance, and an air mobility assignment module that assigns the air mobility for the operation information according to the air mobility battery capacity information.

[0017] In addition, in the integrated control system for air mobility operation, a linked operation confirmation and provision module is further included that confirms a transit vertiport located near the operation route, confirms linked air mobility information of the transit vertiport, and provides the linked air mobility information, and the air mobility assignment module can assign air mobility for the operation information using the linked air mobility information.

[0018] In addition, in the integrated control system for air mobility operation, a module for checking and providing a connected transportation means may be further included to check a transit vertiport located near the operation route, check information on a connected transportation means at the transit vertiport, and provide information on the connected transportation means, and the air mobility assignment module may assign air mobility for the operation information using information on the connected transportation means.

[0019] In addition, in the integrated control system for aircraft mobility operation, the aircraft mobility battery confirmation module parked in the vertiport further includes a charging unit, the charging unit includes a charging module, and the charging module can provide charging information of the aircraft mobility to the aircraft mobility battery confirmation module.

[0020] Additionally, in the integrated control system for aviation mobility operation, the charging unit may further include a charging power control module that selectively provides the dispenser output power of the charging module for ultra-fast charging.

[0021] Additionally, in the integrated control system for air mobility operation, the air mobility battery confirmation module can confirm the battery capacity of the air mobility scheduled to arrive at the vertiport.

[0022]

[0023] A control method of an integrated control system for air mobility operation according to one embodiment of the present invention

[0024] It includes a flight information confirmation step of confirming destination information and confirming the flight distance to the destination, a flight-related battery capacity calculation step of calculating the battery capacity for flight distance using the flight distance confirmed through the flight information confirmation step, an air mobility battery capacity and charging information confirmation step of confirming the battery capacity of air mobility parked at the departure vertiport and confirming the expected charging time of the air mobility, and a flight target air mobility confirmation and dispatch information provision step of confirming the flightable distance using the battery capacity of the air mobility, confirming air mobility matching the flight schedule, and providing dispatch information.

[0025] In addition, in the control method of the integrated control system for aviation mobility operation, the step of checking the aviation mobility battery capacity and charging information can selectively perform ultra-fast charging for aviation mobility through the charging power control module.

[0050]

[0051] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an integrated control system for air mobility operation according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] The aviation operation integrated control system (1000) comprehensively controls the charging and operation of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft operating at an aviation mobility terminal (e.g., Vertifort).

[0053] The aviation operation integrated control system (1000) can be implemented as an aviation operation integrated control system of an urban vertiport.

[0054] eVTOL is a future urban air mobility (UAM) vehicle, also known as PAV (Personal Air Vehicle), flying car, or air taxi, and can transport passengers or cargo in a demand-responsive manner.

[0055] As shown, the aviation operation integrated control system (1000) may include a charging unit (1100) and a control unit (1200).

[0056] More specifically, the charging unit (1100) is for charging an air mobility vehicle parked at a vertiport.

[0057] The charging unit (1100) may include a charging module (1110), a charging power control module (1120), and a charging information providing module (1130).

[0058] The charging module (1110) can be implemented as a wired or wireless charging module and can include a power conversion device and a dispenser.

[0059] The dispenser may include a cable and a plug.

[0060] The charging module (1110) can provide charging information, such as the charging time of the air mobility, to the air mobility battery verification module (1210).

[0061] The charging power control module (1120) is for adjusting the power of the charging module (1110).

[0062] That is, the charging power control module (1120) can selectively provide the output power of the dispenser, which can be called 'ultra-fast charging'.

[0063] For example, if the ultra-fast charging is composed of a 3MW power conversion device and 3 sets of dispensers, instead of setting the charging to 1MW per dispenser, the charging power control module (1120) can set the first dispenser to 2MW, the second dispenser to 1MW, and the third dispenser to idle.

[0064] This allows for different output powers for each charger to be implemented to ensure On-Demand, On-Time boarding according to the customer's boarding request.

[0065] Accordingly, the charging unit (1100) according to the present invention enables more efficient battery charging operation.

[0066] The charging information provision module (1130) is intended to provide charging information in real time.

[0067] Next, the control unit (1200) includes an aviation mobility battery confirmation module (1210), an operation schedule confirmation module (1220), an operation-related battery calculation module (1230), and an aviation mobility allocation module (1240).

[0068] The aviation mobility battery verification module (1210) is for verifying the battery capacity for aviation mobility within the vertiport.

[0069] Battery capacity refers to the remaining usable battery capacity.

[0070] Additionally, the aviation mobility battery verification module (1210) can additionally verify battery capacity information of the aviation mobility to which the corresponding vertiport is the destination.

[0071] To achieve this, battery capacity information for air mobility vehicles operating through a given vertiport can be obtained in real time. Furthermore, battery capacity information for an air mobility vehicle can be obtained prior to departure through the vertiport from which it departed.

[0072] The flight schedule and flight information confirmation module (1220) checks flight schedule information to allocate air mobility according to the flight schedule and confirms the flight distance according to the flight.

[0073] The flight-related battery capacity calculation module (1230) checks the flight distance according to flight information and calculates the battery capacity for the flight distance.

[0074] In addition, the operation-related battery capacity calculation module (1230) can calculate the charging time according to the battery capacity. The operation-related battery capacity calculation module (1230) can calculate the charging time according to the output power differentially provided through the charging power control module.

[0075] Additionally, the output power of each charger can be varied to ensure On-Demand, On-Time boarding according to the customer's boarding request.

[0076] The air mobility assignment module (1240) can check flight information, air mobility battery capacity information, and charging time information, and use this to assign air mobility according to flight schedule.

[0077] That is, the air mobility allocation module (1240) can allocate air mobility by matching the battery capacity information calculated through the operation-related battery capacity calculation module (1230) with the operation information.

[0078] The air mobility allocation module (1240) calculates the charging time of the air mobility calculated through the operation-related battery calculation module (1230) and integrates this with the current battery capacity to allocate air mobility corresponding to the operation schedule.

[0079] The air mobility assignment module (1240) can assign a flight schedule to an air mobility flying to the corresponding vertiport using the battery capacity information and expected charging time of the air mobility.

[0080] Meanwhile, the air mobility battery confirmation module checks the battery capacity of the air mobility scheduled to arrive at the vertiport, and the air mobility assignment module (1240) can assign the air mobility if the battery capacity of the air mobility scheduled to arrive at the departure vertiport satisfies the battery capacity according to the flight information.

[0081] At this time, the air mobility assignment module (1240) can compare the charging time of the existing air mobility with the arrival time of the air mobility scheduled to arrive and assign priority to the air mobility with the earliest possible takeoff time.

[0082]

[0083] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an integrated control system for air mobility operation according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0084] More specifically, the integrated control system for air mobility operation (2000) differs from the integrated control system for air mobility operation (1000) illustrated in FIG. 1 only in the technical configuration for providing linked operation of air mobility and linked transportation means.

[0085] The aviation operation integrated control system (2000) includes a charging unit (2100) and a control unit (2200).

[0086] The charging unit (2100) may include a charging module (2110), a charging power control module (2120), and a charging information providing module (2130).

[0087] The control unit (2200) includes an aviation mobility battery confirmation module (2210), an operation schedule confirmation module (2220), an operation-related battery calculation module (2230), a linked operation confirmation and provision module (2240), a linked transportation means confirmation and provision module (2250), and an aviation mobility assignment module (2260).

[0088] The charging unit (2100), the aviation mobility battery verification module (2210), the flight schedule verification module (2220), and the flight-related battery calculation module (2230) of the aviation mobility operation integrated control system (2000) are the same as the charging unit (1100), the aviation mobility battery verification module (1210), the flight schedule verification module (1220), and the flight-related battery calculation module (1230) of the aviation mobility operation integrated control system (1000) illustrated in FIG. 1, and thus a detailed description thereof is omitted as described above.

[0089] The linked flight confirmation and provision module (2250) can confirm a transit vertiport located near the flight route and provide linked air mobility information of the transit vertiport.

[0090] The linked transportation means confirmation and provision module (2260) is intended to confirm information on linked transportation means such as vehicles in addition to linked air mobility at a transit vertiport and provide information thereon.

[0091] The air mobility allocation module (2240) calculates the charging time of the air mobility calculated through the operation-related battery calculation module (2230) and integrates this with the current battery capacity to allocate air mobility corresponding to the operation schedule.

[0092] The air mobility assignment module (2240) can assign a flight schedule to an air mobility flying to the corresponding vertiport using the battery capacity information and expected charging time of the air mobility.

[0093] The air mobility assignment module (2240) can additionally assign linked air mobility of a transit vertiport for flight information using additional information of the linked flight confirmation and provision module (2250).

[0094] The air mobility assignment module (2240) can additionally assign a connected transportation means of a transit vertiport using additional information from the connected transportation means confirmation and provision module (2260).

[0095] At this time, the connected transportation can be implemented as an autonomous vehicle.

[0096] As described above, the integrated control system for air mobility operation (2000) according to the second embodiment can minimize the required time by providing linked air mobility of a transit vertiport when it is difficult to operate to a destination using the air mobility of the corresponding vertiport and a long charging time is required.

[0097]

[0098] Figure 3 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a control method for the integrated control system for air mobility operation illustrated in Figure 1.

[0099] As illustrated, the integrated control method for air mobility operation (S1000) includes an operation information confirmation step (S1100), an operation-related battery amount calculation step (S1200), an air mobility battery capacity and charge information confirmation step (S1300), and an operation target air mobility confirmation and dispatch information provision step (S1400).

[0100] More specifically, the flight information confirmation step (S1100) confirms destination information and confirms the flight distance to the destination.

[0101] The operation-related battery capacity calculation step (S1200) calculates the battery capacity for the operation distance flight using the operation distance confirmed through the operation information confirmation step (S1100).

[0102] The air mobility battery capacity and charging information confirmation step (S1300) confirms the battery capacity of the air mobility parked at the vertiport.

[0103] Additionally, the air mobility battery capacity and charging information confirmation step (S1300) can additionally confirm the battery capacity information of the air mobility to which the corresponding vertiport is the destination.

[0104] The aviation mobility battery capacity and charging information confirmation step (S1300) can confirm the expected charging time of the aviation mobility with confirmed capacity.

[0105] The step of confirming the air mobility to be operated and providing dispatch information (S1500) verifies the flight distance through the battery capacity of the air mobility, confirms the air mobility matching the operation schedule, and provides dispatch information to the user.

[0106] At this time, if the battery capacity of the air mobility does not satisfy the flight distance, the battery charging time can be checked and the dispatch information and takeoff time can be provided to the user accordingly.

[0107] Additionally, in the aviation mobility battery capacity and charging information confirmation step (S1300), the charging power control module can selectively perform ultra-fast charging.

[0108] The integrated control method for air mobility operation (S1000) may further include a transit and connection operation confirmation step (S1310).

[0109] The transit and connecting flight confirmation step (S1310) is performed through the air mobility battery capacity and charging information confirmation step (S1300), where, if the battery capacity of the air mobility within the vertiport is insufficient to fly to the destination, a transit vertiport located nearby on the flight route is checked, and the battery capacity of the connected air mobility of the transit vertiport is checked.

[0110] At this time, the step of confirming the target air mobility for operation and providing dispatch information (S1500) can confirm the air mobility for efficient operation control by considering the charging time of the air mobility within the vertiport and the available time of the air mobility at the transit vertiport.

[0111] At this time, the step (S1500) of determining the target air mobility and providing dispatch information may consider the expected arrival time. Furthermore, when determining the target air mobility, if a transit vertiport is used, dispatching may be determined based on passenger preferences, the overall air mobility dispatch and operating schedule.

[0112]

[0113] Figure 4 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a control method for the integrated control system for air mobility operation illustrated in Figure 2.

[0114] More specifically, the integrated control method for air mobility operation (S2000) differs from the integrated control method for air mobility operation (S1000) illustrated in Fig. 3 only in that it identifies connected transportation means and utilizes this as dispatch information.

[0115] As illustrated, the integrated control method for air mobility operation (S2000) includes an operation information confirmation step (S2100), an operation-related battery amount calculation step (S2200), an air mobility battery capacity and charge information confirmation step (S2300), a transit and connection operation or connection transportation means confirmation step (S2400), and an operation target air mobility confirmation and dispatch information provision step (S2400).

[0116] In addition, the operation information confirmation step (S2100), the operation-related battery amount calculation step (S2200), and the aviation mobility battery capacity and charging information confirmation step (S2300) are identical to the operation information confirmation step (S1100), the operation-related battery amount calculation step (S1200), and the aviation mobility battery capacity and charging information confirmation step (S1300) of the aviation mobility operation integrated control method (S1000), and a detailed description thereof is omitted as described above.

[0117] The step of confirming the transit and connecting operation or connecting transportation means (S2400) is to confirm the battery capacity and charging information of the air mobility in the vertiport through the step of confirming the battery capacity and charging information of the air mobility in the vertiport (S2300), and if the battery capacity of the air mobility in the vertiport is insufficient to fly to the destination, the transit vertiport located nearby on the flight route is confirmed and the battery capacity of the air mobility connected to the transit vertiport is confirmed.

[0118] Additionally, the transit and connecting operation or connecting transportation means confirmation step (S2400) additionally confirms possible connecting transportation means in addition to connecting air mobility.

[0119] That is, we check the available transportation options at the transit vertiport. These options can be implemented in a variety of ways, including vehicles, trains, and ships.

[0120] Additionally, the available means of transportation can be implemented as autonomous vehicles, taking into account the convenience of passengers.

[0121] Next, the step of confirming the target air mobility for operation and providing dispatch information (S2500) can confirm the air mobility for efficient operation control by considering the charging time of the air mobility within the vertiport and the available time of the air mobility at the transit vertiport.

[0122] Additionally, it is possible to determine a connecting transportation method instead of connecting air mobility at the transit vertiport.

[0123] That is, if the passenger's final destination is more than a set distance away from the destination vertiport, and if other means of transportation are used, a connecting means of transportation can be assigned if it is determined to be the shortest time or distance.

[0124]

[0125] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating in more detail an embodiment of a control method of the air mobility takeoff and landing airport security system illustrated in FIG. 3.

[0126] As illustrated, the control method (S3000) of the air mobility takeoff and landing airport security system includes a destination information receiving step (S3100), an air mobility battery capacity confirmation step (S3200) of the departure vertiport, a comparison step (S3300) of the air mobility battery capacity and the battery capacity that can meet the flight schedule, and an air mobility dispatch and dispatch information transmission step (S3400).

[0127] More specifically, the destination information receiving step (S3100) is a step for receiving destination information to calculate the battery capacity related to operation.

[0128] The step of checking the battery capacity of the air mobility at the departure vertiport (S3200) is a step of checking the battery capacity of the air mobility parked at the departure vertiport.

[0129] The step (S3300) of comparing the battery capacity of the air mobility and the battery capacity that can meet the flight schedule is a step to check whether the battery capacity of the air mobility parked at the departure vertiport is greater than the battery capacity expected to be required to reach the destination.

[0130] The air mobility dispatch and dispatch information transmission step (S3400) dispatches the corresponding air mobility and transmits dispatch information when the battery capacity of the air mobility is greater than the expected battery capacity required to reach the destination.

[0131] Meanwhile, if no air mobility with the expected battery capacity required to reach the destination is confirmed in the step (S3300) of comparing the battery capacity of the air mobility with the battery capacity that can meet the flight schedule, the process proceeds to the step (S3310) of searching for a transit vertiport near the flight route.

[0132] The step of searching for a transit vertiport near the flight route (S3310) is a step of searching for a transit vertiport near the flight route to the destination.

[0133] The step (S3320) of searching for air mobility that can travel from the transit vertiport to the destination searches for air mobility that can travel from the transit vertiport to the destination if a transit vertiport is confirmed through the step (S3310) of searching for a transit vertiport near the flight route.

[0134] The step (S3330) for calculating the battery capacity required from the departure vertiport to the transit vertiport and from the transit vertiport to the destination vertiport ...

[0135] The air mobility dispatch and dispatch information transmission step (S3400) dispatches air mobility to the transit vertiport and linked air mobility from the transit vertiport to the destination, and transmits dispatch information about this to passengers and the transit vertiport.

[0136]

[0137] Figure 6 is a flowchart illustrating a more specific example of the control method illustrated in Figure 4.

[0138] More specifically, the integrated control method for air mobility operation (S4000) differs from the integrated control method for air mobility operation (S3000) illustrated in Fig. 5 only in that it identifies connected transportation means and utilizes this as dispatch information.

[0139] As illustrated, the control method (S4000) of the air mobility takeoff and landing airport security system includes a destination information receiving step (S4100), an air mobility battery capacity (first battery capacity) confirmation step (S4200) of the departure vertiport, a comparison step (S4300) of the air mobility battery capacity and the battery capacity that can meet the flight schedule, and an air mobility dispatch and dispatch information transmission step (S4400).

[0140] In addition, if the condition is not satisfied in the step of comparing the battery capacity of the air mobility with the battery capacity that can meet the operating schedule (S4300), the following steps are additionally included.

[0141] That is, it further includes a step of collecting information on additional air mobility expected to arrive at the departure vertiport (S4310), a step of checking whether the battery capacity (second battery capacity) of the additional air mobility is greater than the first battery capacity (S4420), a step of checking whether the second battery capacity is greater than the reference battery capacity (S4430), and a step of calculating the expected time required to reach the destination of the additional air mobility (S4440).

[0142] In addition, if the conditions are not satisfied in the step (S4420) of checking whether the battery capacity of the additional air mobility (second battery capacity) is greater than the first battery capacity and the step (S4430) of checking whether the second battery capacity is greater than the reference battery capacity, the following steps are additionally included.

[0143] That is, it further includes a step of searching for a transit vertiport near the operating route (S4421), a step of searching for a means of transportation connecting the transit vertiport to the destination (SS4422), and a step of calculating the battery capacity required from the departure vertiport to the transit vertiport and the expected battery capacity required from the transit vertiport to the destination vertiport (S4423).

[0144] In addition, the destination information receiving step (S4100), the step of checking the battery capacity (first battery capacity) of the departure vertiport of the aircraft mobility (S4200), and the step of comparing the battery capacity of the aircraft mobility with the battery capacity that can meet the flight schedule (S4300) are the same as the destination information receiving step (S3100), the step of checking the battery capacity of the aircraft mobility of the departure vertiport of the aircraft mobility (S3200), and the step of comparing the battery capacity of the aircraft mobility with the battery capacity that can meet the flight schedule (S3300) of the control method (S3000) of the aircraft mobility takeoff and landing airport security system, and a detailed description thereof is omitted as described above.

[0145] Next, in the step (S4300) of comparing the battery capacity of the air mobility and the battery capacity that can meet the flight schedule, if the battery capacity of the air mobility at the departure vertiport is not greater than the expected battery capacity required to reach the destination, the process proceeds to the step (S4310) of collecting information on additional air mobility scheduled to arrive at the departure vertiport.

[0146] The additional air mobility information collection step (S4310) scheduled to arrive at the departure vertiport is a step for collecting information on air mobility scheduled to arrive at the departure vertiport among air mobility currently in operation outside.

[0147] If information on additional air mobility is confirmed through the additional air mobility information collection step (S4310) scheduled to arrive at the departure vertiport, a step (S4420) is performed to check whether the battery capacity (second battery capacity) of the additional air mobility is greater than the first battery capacity.

[0148] That is, it is checked whether the battery capacity of the additional air mobility (referred to as the second battery capacity) is greater than the first battery capacity (the battery capacity of the air mobility parked at the departure point).

[0149] And if the second battery capacity is greater than the first battery capacity (battery capacity of the air mobility parked at the departure point), the process proceeds to the step (S4430) of checking whether the second battery capacity is greater than the reference battery capacity (battery capacity required from the departure point vertiport to the destination).

[0150] In the step (S4430) of checking whether the second battery capacity is greater than the reference battery capacity (battery capacity required from the departure vertiport to the destination), if the second battery capacity is greater than the reference battery capacity (battery capacity required from the departure vertiport to the destination), the process proceeds to the step (S4440) of calculating the expected battery capacity required to reach the destination of the additional air mobility.

[0151] Next, in the step of calculating the expected battery amount required to reach the destination of the additional air mobility (S4440), the battery amount required to reach the destination of the additional air mobility is calculated, and the process proceeds to the step of dispatching the air mobility and transmitting dispatch information (S4400), where the additional air mobility is dispatched and the dispatch information is transmitted to the passenger or the additional air mobility.

[0152] In addition, if the conditions are not satisfied in the step (S4420) of checking whether the battery capacity of the additional air mobility (second battery capacity) is greater than the first battery capacity and the step (S4430) of checking whether the second battery capacity is greater than the reference battery capacity, the following steps are additionally included.

[0153] That is, in the step (S4420) of checking whether the battery capacity of the additional air mobility (second battery capacity) is greater than the first battery capacity, if the battery capacity of the additional air mobility (second battery capacity) is less than the first battery capacity, the air mobility parked at the departure vertiport is used and the process proceeds to the step (S4421) of searching for a transit vertiport near the flight route.

[0154] In addition, in the step (S4430) of checking whether the second battery capacity is greater than the reference battery capacity, if the battery capacity of the additional air mobility is less than the reference battery capacity, which is the battery capacity required from the departure vertiport to the destination, the additional air mobility is used and the flight proceeds to the step (S4421) of searching for a transit vertiport near the flight route.

[0155] The step of searching for a transit vertiport near the flight route (S4421) is the step of searching for a transit vertiport near the flight route to the destination.

[0156] The step (SS4422) of searching for connecting transportation from a transit vertiport to a destination searches for air mobility or connecting transportation available from the transit vertiport to the destination if a transit vertiport is identified through the step (S4421) of searching for a transit vertiport near the flight route.

[0157] Next, a step (S4423) for calculating the battery capacity required from the departure vertiport to the transit vertiport and the expected battery capacity required from the transit vertiport to the destination vertiport is further included.

[0158] Step (S4423) for calculating the battery capacity required from the departure vertiport to the transit vertiport and the estimated battery capacity required from the transit vertiport to the destination vertiport ...

[0159] Next, the air mobility dispatch and dispatch information transmission step (S4400) dispatches air mobility to the transit vertiport and connected air mobility or connected transportation from the transit vertiport to the destination, and transmits dispatch information therefor to the passengers and the transit vertiport.

[0161] Figure 7 is a usage diagram specifically illustrating the technical implementation of the integrated control system for air mobility operation according to the first embodiment.

[0162] More specifically, the integrated control system for air mobility operations can be applied to a vertical take-off and landing airfield (Vertiport), which is an air mobility take-off and landing field.

[0163] A vertical takeoff and landing airfield (Vertiport) may include a takeoff field, a landing field, and a hangar.

[0164] Vertical take-off and landing airfields can be constructed on the rooftops of buildings.

[0165] Additionally, the hangar of the vertical take-off and landing airfield is made of two floors, and the take-off and landing fields can be selectively located on the roof of the building or the roof of the hangar, respectively.

[0166] A charging unit (30) is installed at the departure point, and an air mobility (10) is parked there.

[0167] Additionally, external air mobility (20) is operating toward the departure point, Vertiport.

[0168] At this time, the charging unit (30) can selectively provide the output power of the dispenser for ultra-fast charging through the charging power control module (illustrated as 1120 in FIG. 1).

[0169] That is, ultra-fast charging can be selectively performed on parked air mobility (10) according to the operation schedule.

[0170] As described above, the integrated control system for air mobility operation according to the present invention can efficiently dispatch air mobility according to an operation schedule based on a destination and an operation time.

[0171]

[0172] Figure 8 is a usage diagram specifically illustrating the technical implementation of an integrated control system for air mobility operation according to the second embodiment.

[0173] As shown, Fig. 8 (a) schematically illustrates a usage status diagram for operating from a departure point (A) to a destination (D) via a transit point (C).

[0174] Figure 8 (b) schematically illustrates a usage status diagram for operating from a departure point (A) to multiple destinations (C, D) via a transit point (B).

[0175] More specifically, if multiple passengers are transported from the departure vertiport (A) and the final destinations are C and D, air mobility can be dispatched from the transit vertiport (B) to the final destinations C and D, respectively.

[0176] Meanwhile, if two air mobility aircraft are not secured at the transit vertiport (B), the route may be operated via destination C to destination D, or a separate means of transportation may be provided at the transit vertiport (B).

[0177] As described above, integrated control of more three-dimensional and complex operation schedules becomes possible.

[0178]

[0179] Although the embodiments described above have been described with limited drawings, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various technical modifications and variations can be applied based on the above. For example, appropriate results can still be achieved even if the described techniques are performed in a different order than described, and / or components of the described systems, structures, devices, circuits, etc. are combined or combined in a different manner than described, or are replaced or substituted with other components or equivalents.
