Drone traffic brings novel challenges to urban planning and environmental impact assessment. Manned traffic has developed for over 100 years, and its impact on the public is well-studied. On the other hand, drones represent a new paradigm, and their range of operation will exceed that of manned aviation, including last-mile delivery. Currently, we lack tools that allow us to study the impact of drone traffic on the public on a large scale. In this talk, we will demonstrate the use of fast-time, large-scale simulations to evaluate the public acceptance of drone traffic in terms of noise annoyance, visual pollution, and safety perception. Scenarios for selected real-world areas will be presented, comparing various air traffic densities and organizations and evaluating its impact.
