A EUROCONTROL package to determine used airports, runways, taxiways and stands based on flight trajectory coordinates.
Project description
HexAeroPy
HexAeroPy is a EUROCONTROL Python package designed for aviation professionals and data analysts. It allows for the determination of used airports, runways, taxiways, and stands based on available (ADS-B) flight trajectory coordinates. This tool aims to enhance aviation data analysis, facilitating the extraction of milestones for performance analysis.
Features
- Airport Detection: Identifies airports involved in a flight's trajectory.
- Runway Utilization: Determines which runways are used during takeoff and landing.
Installation
To install HexAeroPy, ensure you have Python 3.9+ installed. Then run the following command:
pip install HexAeroPy
Quick Start
Get started with HexAeroPy by running the following Python code:
from HexAeroPy import *
This will prompt you to download the geospatial metadata from Zenodo necessary to run the package. It will only cache once. The parquet datasets are available here: https://zenodo.org/records/10651018.
# Load test data
df = load_dataset(name='trajectories.parquet', datatype='test_data')
# Create unique id for each trajectory
df['id'] = df['icao24'] + '-' + df['callsign'] + '-' + df['time'].dt.date.apply(str)
df = df[['id', 'time', 'icao24', 'callsign', 'lat', 'lon', 'baroaltitude']]
# Identify runways
scored_rwy_detections_df, rwy_detections_df = identify_runways(df)
Usage
Visualizing Methodology
# Load approach hex dataset
egll = load_dataset(name="EGLL.parquet", datatype="runway_hex")
# Visualize approach cones
map_viz = choropleth_map(
egll,
column_name='gate_id_nr',
border_color='black',
fill_opacity=0.7,
color_map_name='Reds',
initial_map=None,
initial_location=[df.lat.values[0], df.lon.values[0]],
initial_zoom = 13,
tooltip_columns = ['id', 'airport_ref', 'airport_ident', 'le_ident', 'he_ident', 'length_ft', 'width_ft',
'surface', 'lighted', 'closed', 'gate_id']
)
# Add a single aircraft trajectory to the map
df = df[df['id'] == '0a0048-DAH2054-2023-08-02']
add_trajectory(map_viz, df)
# Show
map_viz.save('egll_arrival.html')

Development Roadmap
- [pending implementation] Taxiway Analysis: Analyzes taxi routes for efficiency and optimization.
- [pending implementation] Stand Identification: Identifies aircraft stands, enhancing ground operation analysis.
