  • Patent number: 11783711
    Abstract: Methods and systems for efficient airspace design and planning using the Airspace Information Model are described. In one example aspect, a method for designing an improved airspace model includes receiving a first user input that comprises one or more parameters, generating, based on the first user input, an airspace design, performing a validation of the airspace design against an aviation standard, the validation comprising a set of design rules and criteria for evaluation of aircraft performance and safety of operations, generating, based on at least the parametric model, at least one key performance indicator (KPI) for the airspace design, providing for display a value of the at least one KPI, receiving a second user input that comprises an updated value for at least one of the one or more parameters, and providing for display, based on the second input, an updated value of the at least one KPI.

  • Publication number: 20230221173
    Abstract: Methods and systems for airport noise management, which are based on integrating virtual noise monitoring with actual noise recordings via mobile application system, are disclosed. An example method of improving airport noise management includes receiving information associated with a flight segment, generating a virtual noise map for the flight segment that includes a virtual noise metric generated for each of a multiple user-defined locations that span a projection of the flight path on the Earth. The method includes receiving, from a mobile application at a user location, an audio recording that was recorded in a recording interval, generating, based on the virtual noise map for the flight segment, a virtual noise metric associated with the user location, and determining a validity of the audio recording by comparing the virtual noise metric associated with the user location to a recorded noise metric that is calculated based on the audio recording.

  • Patent number: 11017678
    Abstract: Methods and systems for terminal airspace operations based on dynamic routes are described. An exemplary method for providing airspace operations based on dynamic routes includes performing spatio-temporal filtering on air traffic data for a plurality of aircrafts in an en-route airspace sector to generate one or more dynamic routes, each dynamic route being associated with a subset of the plurality of aircrafts that share similar spatial and temporal flight characteristics. The method further includes generating a priority value for each of the one or more dynamic routes, adjusting at least one of the one or more dynamic routes based on the respective priority value to generate one or more final dynamic routes, and for each of the plurality of aircrafts, generating a three-dimensional route based on the one or more final dynamic routes to increase an efficiency of the en-route airspace operations.
