    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for dynamically calculating a total fuel uplift quantity for an aircraft scheduled to fly a flight route. In one aspect, a method comprises: (a) polling a plurality of sources to receive data indicative of: (i) real-time weather conditions in remaining flight sectors in the flight route, and (ii) delay information in the remaining sectors; (b) calculating for the remaining sectors a respective fuel consumption factor; (c) based on (i) respective fuel quotations in the remaining sectors, (ii) the real-time weather conditions, and (iii) the delay information, generating a linear model for calculating a respective fuel uplift quantity at arrival stations in the remaining sectors; (d) calculating using the linear model the respective fuel uplift quantity at the arrival stations; and (e) periodically performing operations (a)-(d) to update a calculation of the respective fuel uplift quantities to account for changing factors.

    摘要: Examples provide a method and apparatus for predicting airport utilization. A plurality of data sources provides raw flight data and weather data which is stored in a key value data store. The incoming raw data is cleaned, correlated and indexed. The processed data is stored in an interim data store. A plurality of competing predictive models use the processed data and historical data to generate predicted arrivals and departures for a selected runway during a selected time-period. The predicted data is compared to actual arrival and departures for the selected runway. The ML model generating predicted results most closely matching the actual arrival and departure data is selected. The selected ML model generates predicted future arrivals and future departures data for the runway based on real-time flight data and weather data for output via a user interface device.

    摘要: In an example, a method for optimizing energy loading in airline operations is described. The method includes receiving a flight plan of an aircraft indicative of a plurality of landing sites and a corresponding plurality of flight legs. The method includes determining an energy load of the aircraft associated with each flight leg. The energy load corresponds to an amount of fuel used during the flight leg. The method includes calculating a fuel value score for refueling the aircraft at a landing site of each flight leg. The fuel value score relates to a refueling estimate at the landing site and a time for refueling at the landing site. The method includes determining a fueling plan based at least on the energy load of the aircraft at each flight leg and the fuel value score for refueling the aircraft at the landing site of each flight leg.

    摘要: A computing system obtains flight information comprising a plurality of waypoints for each of a plurality of aircraft flight paths, and detects a violation of aircraft separation requirements at a given time instance. Each waypoint specifies an altitude, a longitudinal position, a latitudinal position, a velocity, and a time instance. Detecting the violation comprises selecting a set of time-correlated waypoints from the flight information, each time-correlated waypoint specifying the given time instance. The detecting further comprises selecting a set of altitude-correlated waypoints from the set of time-correlated waypoints, each of the altitude-correlated waypoints being vertically-separated from at least one other altitude-correlated waypoint by less than a threshold vertical separation. The detecting further comprises determining that first and second position-correlated waypoints from the set of altitude-correlated waypoints are vertically-separated from each other by less than the threshold vertical separation and horizontally-separated from each other by less than a threshold horizontal separation.
