Abstract:
A request for transport services that identifies a rider, an origin, and a destination is received from a client device. Eligibility of the request to be serviced by a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is determined based on the origin and the destination. A transportation system determines a first and a second hub for a leg of the transport request serviced by the VTOL aircraft and calculates a set of candidate routes from the first hub to the second hub. A provisioned route is selected from among the set of candidate routes based on network and environmental parameters and objectives including pre-determined acceptable noise levels, weather, and the presence and planned routes of other VTOL aircrafts along each of the candidate routes.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for dynamically routing a VTOL aircraft in a transportation system, the method comprising:\n receiving, at the transportation system, a request to route the VTOL aircraft from a first location to a second location, the request generated in response to receiving a request for transport services from a client device associated with a user of the transportation system; in response to receiving the request to route the VTOL aircraft, determining a set of candidate routes from the first location to the second location; determining, by a processor of the transportation system, a route cost for each candidate route in the set of candidate routes, the route cost being a function of one or more network or environmental factors; selecting a candidate route having a route cost at or below an acceptable route cost threshold as a provisioned route for the transport services; and transmitting data related to the provisioned route selected based on having the route cost at or below the acceptable route cost threshold to the VTOL aircraft.
