Amsterdam Drone Week (ADW) continues to push the boundaries of urban  mobility, and one of the most promising initiatives emerging this year is the Mobility Hubs Working  Group. Roel Brandt, Advisory Group Manager for Traffic  at Antea Group, provided a glimpse into the transformative vision behind this working group, shedding light on the role of mobility hubs in integrating drone operations into existing transport systems.

Mobility Hubs: Combine the expertise of both 'ground' and 'air' stakeholders

NASA’s contributions to Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) have paved the way for significant advancements in commercial drone operations. The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) recent authorization of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations in shared airspace marks a major milestone. This breakthrough allows multiple U.S. companies to operate drones beyond the operator’s line of sight, setting a precedent for the future of unmanned aerial systems.

The latest Industry Update from Amsterdam Drone Week (ADW) brought together a diverse panel of experts, showcasing developments in air mobility across the globe. The session was moderated by Munish Khurana from EUROCONTROL, who set the stage by emphasizing the need for global collaboration in air mobility. "We want to listen to our panelists today about what is working well and where they are finding challenges," she said. The event highlighted progress in Japan, Europe, and the United States, presenting a multifaceted view of the current state of urban air mobility.

At Amsterdam Drone Week, industry leaders called for simplified BVLOS regulations to accelerate drone integration and operational flexibility. Government officials acknowledged these demands but emphasized the complexity of creating tailored safety requirements for diverse drone applications.

‘Please adopt a more facilitative approach to support BVLOS’

A year ago, during the Amsterdam Drone Week (ADW), Dutch telecommunications company KPN announced KPN Drone Connect, a dedicated service for drones. This service encompasses capabilities such as connectivity control, data exchange, and 3D mobile coverage maps. Thanks to application priority on the mobile network, it ensures that data traffic to and from drones is prioritized during network congestion. At the upcoming ADW, KPN plans to demonstrate a new capability that provides drone operators with population density data on planned flight operations to minimize operational risks for drone flights.

For the first time in history, Dutch designers and architects have turned their attention to the spatial organization of airspace. During the so-called Urban Sky Lab, three design teams delved into the rapidly developing world of drones, focusing on a central question: how can designers contribute to the livable, smart city of the future?
