The Realization Factors of Taiwan's Low Altitude Airspace Economy and UAM: Analysis and Evaluation

Low altitude airspace economy applications will be of highly effective in a wide range of civil activities and will be a critical element in the smart cities of the future. In view of the main features of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), such as automatic piloting system, access to uninhabited areas, low cost compared to road and manned aircraft, shorter delivery time, and the ability to carry heavy payloads, it is important to recognize that UAVs can be used for a wide range of civil activities. With the development of these applications in full swing around the world, in addition to advanced communications technology and other related infrastructure, business demand and a favorable investment climate, clarity, definiteness and feasible regulations in the Taiwanese environment are also essential. Based on the premise of local economic strength, the technical level of the telecommunication industry, and commercial demands, Taiwan should establish a rational standard for the UAV regulatory system as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the development of UAM and to ensure the international competitiveness of the related technologies for market development,
