Daytona Beach, FL · Advanced Air Mobility Research
As part of my dissertation research on noise-optimized routing for Advanced Air Mobility, I built a real-time simulation and visualization platform modeling UAM operations over Daytona Beach, FL. The platform combines MATSim (agent-based multi-modal transport simulation), OTFVis for live route visualization, and a custom GeoServer-backed dashboard for cumulative and per-route noise exposure, sensitive-receptor impact (hospitals, schools, residential areas), and airspace design analysis (Class C terminal coordination, UAM gate crossings, approach cones) around Daytona Beach International Airport (KDAB). This work directly supports my published survey on UAS/eVTOL noise prediction and mitigation in Drones.
This map is rendered directly from the OpenStreetMap road network and the noise-sensitive receptor buffer layers (residential, schools, hospitals) I built for the noise-impact analysis shown in the videos below — the same GIS data driving the dashboard, not a decorative illustration.
Live view combining cumulative noise-energy trends, per-route receiver peaks, and sensitive-receptor impact triage (hospitals, schools, residential zones) alongside a georeferenced noise-contour map of the Daytona Beach corridor. Tracks network-cumulative and per-route dB levels against a reference threshold in real time as simulated UAM traffic moves through the network.
Extends the dashboard with an active airspace-design layer: Class C terminal coordination context, runway 25L/25R approach cones, and UAM gate crossings near Daytona Beach International Airport, shown alongside live flight telemetry (altitude, speed, RX noise peak) for the selected route.
Full-scale MATSim agent simulation replaying UAM traffic across the Daytona Beach network in OTFVis, with live vehicle and agent counts, average and peak speeds, and simulation-event throughput, overlaid on schools, hospitals, and other sensitive receptors along active routes.
