Signal statistics dashboard for Mode-S/ADS-B signals from dump1090

dump1090 Real-Time Signal Statistics

This project provides a web application for real-time monitoring of ADS-B messages using dump1090. The application consists of a FastAPI backend and a frontend that displays various statistics in real-time using Chart.js.

Features

• Message Rate Statistics: Computes and displays message rates over different intervals (5s, 15s, 30s, 60s, 300s).
• Signal Strength Statistics: Computes and displays minimum, maximum, and average signal strength over 30 seconds.
• Distance Statistics: Computes and displays minimum, maximum, and percentile distances over 30 seconds.
• Coverage Statistics: Displays coverage statistics in a radar chart, showing the distribution of messages by distance and bearing.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6+
• dump1090 running on the same machine or accessible via network.

Installation

You can install the application using pip:

pip install signalstats1090

This will install the signalstats1090 command-line tool, which you can use to run the backend server.

If you want to run the application as a service, you can use the provided setup script explained below.

Running the app

To run the app, execute the following command:

signalstats1090 run --antenna-lat <antenna_lat> --antenna-lon <antenna_lon>

The --antenna-lat and --antenna-lon arguments are required. You can find the latitude and longitude of your antenna using Google Maps or similar services.

### Command Line Arguments

The script supports the following command line arguments:

- `--host`: Host to run the web server on (default: `0.0.0.0`).
- `--port`: Port to run the web server on (default: `8000`).
- `--antenna-lat`: Antenna latitude (required for running the server).
- `--antenna-lon`: Antenna longitude (required for running the server).
- `--dump1090-host`: Host running dump1090 (default: `localhost`).
- `--dump1090-port`: Port for dump1090 (default: `30005`).

### Installation as a Service

You can install the program as a service using the provided setup script:

```bash
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clemensv/signalstats1090/main/setup.sh > ~/signalstats1090_setup.sh
chmod +x ~/signalstats1090_setup.sh

Then run the setup script with the required arguments:

~/signalstats1090_setup.sh install --host <host> --port <port> --antenna-lat <antenna_lat> --antenna-lon <antenna_lon> --dump1090-host <dump1090_host> --dump1090-port <dump1090_port>

The --antenna-lat and --antenna-lon arguments are required.

Arguments for the setup script

• --host: Host to run the web server on (default: 0.0.0.0).
• --port: Port to run the web server on (default: 8000).
• --antenna-lat: Latitude of the antenna (required).
• --antenna-lon: Longitude of the antenna (required).
• --dump1090-host: Host running dump1090 (default: localhost).
• --dump1090-port: Port for dump1090 (default: 30005).

Charts

• Message Rate Chart: Displays message rates over different intervals (5s, 15s, 30s, 60s, 300s).
• Signal Strength Chart: Displays minimum, average, and maximum signal strength over 30 seconds.
• Distance Chart: Displays minimum, maximum, and percentile distances over 30 seconds.
• Distance Histogram Chart: Displays the count of position readings in 30km buckets (up to 300km).
• Coverage Chart: Displays coverage statistics in a radar chart, showing the distribution of messages by distance and bearing.

Viewing the Frontend

To view the frontend, open a web browser and navigate to:

http://localhost:8000

or whatever host and port you specified when running the server.
