Academic Facilities

Academic facilities that study flight movements through airspace can take advantage of Atom™’s powerful flight data processing and visualization tools.

With its ATC operational, live-traffic background, Atom™ can be used as a full-featured ICAO-compliant system for studies and investigation of air traffic movements through airspace volumes.

By building on the Advanced FDM functions, Atom™ provides the following additional features to directly benefit the Academic Facility.

ICAO flight data message processing and playback of simulated or recorded live datasets. NAS and ETMS formats also available.
Full route expansion with four-dimensional trajectory generation including fix-time estimation.
Airspace structure database to understand fix, airway, airspace and other relationships with flight trajectories.
Aircraft types automatically looked up in aircraft database used for study of aircraft type information such as emissions or passenger/cargo capacities.
ICAO airline codes automatically looked up in airline database for study of airline industry issues.
Situation display shows air traffic and airspace structures and allows researchers to visualize interactions among flights and airspaces.
Conflict prediction software shows effect of separation changes or control actions.
The fast- and freeze- time mode of the situation display can be used as a research tool to easily look at past, present and future outcomes.
Atom™ uses a relational DBMS and can export datasets in various formats for study using with other analysis tools.
Recorded messages live playback optimized through auto-correction of common errors in messages.

Since the system is PC-based, and familiar to many users, set-up, administration and training time is reduced, and Atom™ can be run on a laptop PC.

Interfaces to other systems:

For research, Atom™ can be used offline with recorded live ICAO flight data messages or simulated data. Airspace structure data can be imported from ARINC 424 Standard Jeppesen or NGIA DAFIF formats. Atom™ can export data in numerous formats for use in other software packages.

The Atom™ advantage:

Atom™ provides a world-scale flight data text-based and visual analysis tool with an operational pedigree with numerous data source and data output capabilities.
