Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) technology can improve connectivity while minimizing reliance on traditional ground-based transportation systems. However, the rapid growth in eVTOL adoption brings challenges managing pad operations scheduling routes effectively. This study aims to analyze provide a framework for evaluating system performance under different configurations. Key objectives include (i) identifying bottlenecks operations, (ii) proposing improvements enhance scalability efficiency through multi-route multi-pad configurations, (iii) assessing impact of operational parameters, such as increased horizontal speed, overall performance. A simulation analysis was conducted using an original model developed with colored, timed Petri net technology. methodology aligns principles probabilistic modeling queuing The experiments provided comprehensive factors influencing operations. key finding across all is identification “Landing Confirmed—Move V” consistent bottleneck stage. While increasing pads significantly alleviates arrival delays, it does not address identified bottlenecks, which require innovative solutions route optimization or speed enhancements. results underscore importance robust adaptable support demand traffic. Urban planners policymakers utilize these findings prioritize development vertiports capable supporting this expanding mode transportation. demonstrated validates feasibility systems viable solution urban mobility.
