        abstract = {The rapid growth of urban populations has increased the demand for advanced transportation systems such as flying vehicles and urban air mobility solutions. Managing a large number of aerial vehicles in urban environments presents significant challenges including airspace congestion, collision risks, and inefficient route management. This project proposes a simulation-based air traffic management system designed to regulate and optimize the movement of flying vehicles in urban areas. The system creates a virtual urban airspace where multiple flying vehicles operate simultaneously under controlled conditions. A path planning mechanism is implemented to assign optimal routes for each vehicle. The system continuously monitors vehicle position, altitude, and speed to detect potential conflicts. Collision detection and avoidance strategies are applied to ensure safe navigation within the airspace. Dynamic route adjustments are performed to maintain smooth traffic flow and prevent congestion. The proposed simulation helps evaluate the efficiency of urban air traffic management before real-world deployment. The results demonstrate that simulation-based control systems can significantly improve safety and efficiency in future urban air mobility networks. The system can also incorporate real-time environmental data to improve operational accuracy and safety. Furthermore, it provides a scalable foundation for managing increasing aerial traffic in future smart cities.},
