Insight for an Uncertain World
About
Robust Analytics develops solutions to improve aviation safety, air traffic management, and airline operations. We specialize in integrating high-volume aviation streaming data with real-time analytics to monitor and predict changes in operating conditions at U.S. airports. Risk Tracker delivers up-to-the-minute measurement of hazards, risk precursors, and risk events in terminal areas at 26 airports in the NAS. The SafeFlight safety margin forecasting system integrates diverse hazard and risk data into a comprehensive assessment of airspace safety margins and flight risk status. The tool predicts airspace safety margin state four hours ahead, in 15-minute intervals. Hazards that affect an aircraft ​during the final 60 minutes before landing are monitored continuously. SafeFlight integrates the airspace safety margin forecast with a crew fatigue model to generate a comprehensive flight risk profile. SafeFlight currently predicts safety margins at 26 US airports. The Operational Disruption Forecasting System (ODFS) quantifies uncertainties in the terminal airspace arrival process by integrating a suite of deep learning models with live data streams and real-time analytics to forecast the possible evolution of arrivals into the terminal airspace over the next 15 hours.
