Abstrakt: This paper reports an explorative approach to research factors influencing how people experience urban drone traffic. The study used a virtual reality environment to show people what future drone traffic could look like. A total of ten people took part in the survey. They experienced different types of drones with varying purposes in four urban areas: an industrial area, a city center, a residential area, and a park. Various types of data were collected in the study, focusing on qualitative data from interviews. The goal was to collect a rich and comprehensive data set that thoroughly understands acceptance factors related to drones, recommendations on how future research scenarios in high-fidelity simulation should be designed, and which factors should be included or need more investigation. The findings reveal that drone acceptance is determined by a complex interaction of numerous factors, which need more investigation and validation in future research.
