arXiv:2606.23832v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The use of dedicated corridors for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) traffic is one of the most commonly proposed pathways to integrating them into existing airspace operations. Most prior research has focused on the design of networks of AAM corridors and conflict resolution for aircraft within corridors. It is also generally believed that while attractive from an implementation perspective, corridor-based operations may be inefficient, especially in the absence of centralized traffic management. In this paper, we show that contrary to this belief,
The increasing focus on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and the recognition of inefficiencies in centralized traffic management for such systems necessitate exploring decentralized coordination solutions.
This research is important for strategic readers as it addresses a key operational challenge for the scaling and integration of AAM, potentially enabling more efficient and resilient urban air transportation systems.
The prior belief that corridor-based AAM operations are inherently inefficient without centralized control is challenged, suggesting that decentralized coordination could offer viable and efficient alternatives.

- · AI/ML developers for decentralized control
- · Cities adopting AAM
- · Traditional air traffic control systems
- · Proponents of exclusively centralized traffic management for AAM
More widespread adoption and integration of AAM into urban infrastructure becomes technically feasible and operationally viable.
Development of smart city infrastructure will accelerate, incorporating autonomous air traffic management as a core component.
This could lead to new economic models for urban mobility, potentially reducing ground traffic congestion and enhancing emergency response capabilities.
