dc.description.abstract | The hazards posed by turbulence remain an important issue in commercial aviation safety analysis. Turbulence is among the leading cause of in-flight injury to passengers and flight attendants. Current methods of turbulence detection may suffer from sparse or inaccurate forecast data sets, low spatial and temporal resolution , and lack of in-situ reports. The increased availability of flight data records offers an opportunity to improve the state-of-the-art in turbulence detection. The Eddy Dissipation Rate (EDR) is consistently recognized as a reliable measure of turbulence and is widely used in the aviation industry. In this paper, both classification and regression supervised machine learning models are used in conjunction with flight operations quality assurance (FOQA) data collected from 6,000 routine flights to estimate the EDR (and thereby turbulence severity) in future time horizons. Data from routine airline operations that encountered different levels of turbulence is collected and analyzed for this purpose. Results indicate that the models are able to perform reasonably well in predicting the EDR and turbulence severity around 10 seconds prior to encountering a turbulence event. Continuous deployment of the model enables obtaining a near-continuous prediction of possible future turbulence events and builds the capability towards an early warning system for pilots and flight attendants. | en_US |
