Urban Air Mobility (UAM) emerges as a potential solution to urban congestion. However, as it lacks integration with existing transportation systems, methods to study its impact are necessary. Traditional empirical approaches are insufficient to study large-scale effects in this not-yet-real context. We developed UAM-SUMO, an extension of the SUMO simulation platform, to simulate the impact of UAM on public transportation, particularly how air taxis affect traffic flow and mode choices. We detail the modifications to SUMO and the UAM operation parameters. We open-source our code at https://github.com/M-Colley/uam-sumo and present a proof-of-concept data collection and analysis for Ingolstadt, Germany.
