Abstract
Apparatus and method for receiving, processing and interactively displaying real-time air traffic data representative of the movement of aircraft throughout an airspace. The apparatus is an interactive data visualization framework which provides an immediately visualized aviation-oriented insights, with a focus on evaluating the deviations among flights by route, type, airport, and aircraft performance. The apparatus includes utilities for such as capacity planning, flight route prediction, and fuel consumption analysis.
Claims20
An apparatus for querying large data sets and visually displaying and interacting with query results, comprising:
- a data ingestion and storage stack that includes a database and a data cache, the data ingestion and storage stack receiving the large data sets in a predetermined format and storing the large data sets in the database;
- and
- a multi-touch screen user interface that presents information in multiple layers to provide a three-dimensional interface to the large data sets,
- wherein user inputs are received as touch gestures in the multi-touch screen user interface that cause the apparatus to query the database to update the query results displayed in the multi-touch screen user interface in near real-time.
A method for querying a large data set and visually interacting with query results, comprising:
- receiving an initial query that is run against a database that stores the large data set;
- returning query results of the initial query for display in a multi-touch screen user interface;
- and
- receiving user inputs as touch gestures in the multi-touch screen user interface that generate at least one subsequent query that is run against the database to update the query results displayed in the multi-touch screen user interface in near real-time.
An apparatus for querying aviation data and visually displaying and interacting with query results, comprising:
- a data ingestion and storage stack that includes a database and a data cache, the data ingestion and storage stack receiving the aviation data in an Aircraft Situation Display to Industry (ASDI) data format and storing the ASDI data in the database;
- and
- a multi-touch screen user interface that presents information in multiple layers to provide a three-dimensional interface to the aviation data,
- wherein user inputs are received as touch gestures in the multi-touch screen user interface that cause the apparatus to query the database to update the query results displayed in the multi-touch screen user interface in near real-time.
