METROPOLIS shows how a city might look like in the future, in which personal flying cars play an important role. METROPOLIS is a European FP7 project in which various elements of personal air transport are studied, like safety, collision avoidance, capacity and efficiency.

Four mode of operations are studied and presented in this video clip, ranging from chaotic to central control. They are dubbed 'Full Mix', 'Layers', 'Zones' and 'Tubes'. 'Full Mix' shows analogies with a bee swarm, 'Layers' with flocks of birds, 'Zones' with behaviour of ants, 'Tubes' with a city subway system.


Project partners are TU-Delft, NLR, DLR and ENAC.
