What is Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)?
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is the more broad term that NASA, the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), and industry are using to define a new form of transportation that involves new innovative technologies to move people and products safely and efficiently.
What is Mobility on Demand (MOD)?
Mobility on Demand (MOD) is the term given by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is “an innovative, user-focused approach which leverages emerging mobility services, integrated transit networks and operations, real-time data, connected travelers, and cooperative integrated transportation systems to allow for a more traveler-centric transportation system-of-systems approach, providing improved mobility options to all travelers and users of the system in an efficient and safe manner.”
How do we define vehicle?
A vehicle is a powered conveyance (air, land, sea) that transports people or products. To us, a vehicle should be agnostic to what it is doing or carrying. The vehicle should just transport a module from one point to another point.
How do we define module (Mod)?
LINx believes the way the AAM ecosystem becomes a viable and integral part of society is to separate the vehicle from the module. The module is the component or container that is transported from point to point. This Mod could be a TaxiMod, FreightMod, MediMod, SARMod, AutoMod, FireMod, or many other variants to provide the perfect module for the vehicle.
