From our speaker:
Software simulation can play a key role in enhancing aviation safety because it offers a controlled setting for recreating and analyzing scenarios in the National Airspace System (NAS). Potential hazards like mid-air collisions, runway incursions, or unfavorable weather effects can be identified by simulating aircraft trajectories, entity interactions, and environmental conditions using software. In this presentation, I plan to introduce three open-source software tools that I contributed to as a leading engineer: PE-USGC, PARA-ATM, GNATS. These simulation tools forecast and assess operational hazards using real-world data, such as flight plans, meteorological data, and human performance parameters. Additionally, by integrating artificial intelligence, these tools can learn from historical data, adapt to changing conditions, and provide predictive insights, further improving the accuracy of risk forecasts. Software simulations help pilots, aviation planners, and air traffic controllers make informed decisions by testing and improving safety procedures in a virtual environment, ultimately leading to safer and more efficient airspace management.
