The project calls of the EIT Urban Transportation structure, which is affiliated to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology under Horizon Europe, for the years 2022-2024, have been given to T.C. Istanbul Kultur University Technology Transfer Office made two project applications in May. The development and application processes of both projects were carried out by IKÜTTO Deputy Director Alparslan Güzey, and the project manager will be himself. As of July 9, 2021, the project results have been announced and two of our EIT Urban Mobility projects, details of which are given below, were also entitled to be supported.
Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM) Development Project: Within the scope of this project, subsystems of the holistic system of urban air traffic management will be produced, and at the end of the project, a general application flight of the UATM system will be organized in Belgrade. There are seven (7) partners from the European Union member and contracted countries in the project consortium. Within the scope of the project, the production of innovative sub-systems will take place at the Start-Up to be established in İKÜTTO. A partnership will be established by signing a commercial agreement between the Start-Up to be established and EIT Urban Mobility. Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM) Demonstration Project: The autonomous routing algorithm, communication system, web based-flight request software, UATM Center and Skyport unit produced within the scope of the development project of Urban Air Traffic Management subsystems will be strengthened in software and hardware. Test activities will be carried out within the scope of detailed scenarios in simulation and real environment with all sub-components of the holistic UATM system. There are ten (10) partners from the European Union member and contracted countries in the project consortium. Within the scope of the project, application and simulation flights will be carried out in four (4) cities in Europe (Istanbul, Belgrade, Riga, Barcelona-Terressa).
