ImAFUSA

This SESAR 3JU project aims 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 collect insights influencing societal acceptance of UAM and produce indicators for the environmental, socioeconomic, and safety impact. During the project, data on citizen noise perceptions, perceptions of 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. In each area, innovative performance indicators will be described while mathematical formulas and algorithms will be developed to quantify them. It is a project funded under SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking and Horizon. It kicked off on October 2023 and will run for 30 months by a consortium of 8 partners from 7 countries (🇵🇹 Portugal 🇬🇷Greece 🇸🇪 Sweden 🇨🇾 Cyprus 🇨🇿 Czechia 🇳🇱 Netherlands 🇬🇧 UK).
