System Wide Analysis Network for In-Time Safety Monitoring

Our innovation offers NASA and the aviation community a robust, extensible data processing and analysis infrastructure that supports near-real-time (NRT) monitoring of safety metrics and predictive analytics. The System Wide Analysis Network for Safety (SWANS) will provide continuous measurement of risk precursors and events in terminal areas around the NAS. With updates every five minutes, SWANS will provide insight into safety margin trends and identify increases in risk events at specific locations. These changes may indicate changes in airspace risk status, and identify possible procedural or other deficiencies. Our innovation provides a data processing, distribution, and display infrastructure for adding other data sources and algorithms to measure and predict risk. SWANS can also accommodate Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and other non-traditional operations and their interactions with traditional flight operations.
