Application of visual analytics to aviation safety - Wildlife strikes - The '5 W Questions'
نویسندگان
چکیده
IST-110 is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Research Task Group on visualization for analysis. The Group works to promote the research and deployment of visual analytics techniques among the NATO member nations and partner nations. The Group promotes collaboration and research in a broad range of NATO application areas. This poster describes an exploration of the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) Wildlife Strike Database: it outlines the initial stages of a Visual Analytics approach to understanding, exploring, visualizing and analysing the raw data. The aim of the research is to address the management of wildlife strikes in and around airports by considering the ‘5 W questions’, i.e., ‘where’ and ‘when’ do ‘which species’, in ‘what number’, collide with aircraft, and ‘why are wildlife at the airport’?

Wildlife-aircraft collisions (wildlife strikes) have increased nationally over the past 22 years; denoted in the National Wildlife Strike Database that has been maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) since 1990. Increasing wildlife populations and air traffic coupled with quieter, faster aircraft create a significant risk to aviation safety; the cost to the civil aviation indus...

Reporting of wildlife strikes with civil aircraft in the USA is voluntary but strongly encouraged by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through Advisory Circulars and FAA publications. The National Wildlife Strike Database contained 59,196 strike reports for civil aircraft, 1990-2004. An initial analysis of independent strike data from an eastern USA airport in 1994 indicated that less t...
متن کاملWildlife Strike Risk Assessment in Several Italian Airports: Lessons from BRI and a New Methodology Implementation
The presence of wildlife in airport areas poses substantial hazards to aviation. Wildlife aircraft collisions (hereafter wildlife strikes) cause losses in terms of human lives and direct monetary losses for the aviation industry. In recent years, wildlife strikes have increased in parallel with air traffic increase and species habituation to anthropic areas. In this paper, we used an ecological...
متن کاملImpact locations and damage to civil and military rotary-wing aircraft from wildlife strikes
Rotary-wing aircraft (e.g., helicopters and tilt-wing aircraft) are an important component of all U.S. military services and the U.S. civil aviation industry. Our analyses of wildlife strikes to military rotary-wing aircraft, both within the United States and during overseas deployments, as well as civil helicopters, have shown there are important patterns within wildlife strike data for fl igh...
