This thesis explores user preferences for airport access within the context of Advanced Air
Mobility (AAM). The case study analyzed was access to Guarulhos Airport, the busiest international airport in Brazil. It also analyzes whether perceptions about sustainability,
sustainable transport, innovation, and automation influence the choice. The study employs the Adaptive Choice-based Conjoint (ACBC) method to simulate user decision-making processes, complemented by ANOVA to analyze influencing factors. The variables analyzed
were type of vehicle, in-vehicle travel time, carbon dioxide emissions, automation, ride-
sharing with acquaintances, and price. The results highlight the relative importance of each
factor in user decision-making, as well as the impact of certain variables. Our findings
indicated a preference for eVTOLs due to shorter in-vehicle travel time and lower emissions
than cars. In addition, users preferred sharing rides with acquaintances and using human-
piloted vehicles. These findings help identify user preferences and expectations to provide
services compatible with potential users. |
