contents With the increasing development of intelligent transportation systems and advancements in aviation technology, the concept of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is gaining attention. This study aims to improve operational safety and service quality within Urban Air Mobility (UAM) through a trajectory-based operation (TBO). A multi-layer operational risk assessment model is introduced to capture the effects of aircraft failure scenarios on critical urban entities, including ground personnel, vehicles, and in-flight UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). Based on this, a single-aircraft track planning model is designed to balance operational risk and transportation cost under the performance constraints of eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-off and Landing) aircraft. A customized track planning algorithm with safety buffer zones is used to identify the most efficient flight paths. Additionally, a multi-aircraft scheduling optimization model is proposed to minimize delays and reduce mid-air collision risks. Experimental results show that the presented approach improves both efficiency and safety, providing practical solutions for UAM operations.
