Air traffic control sectors data are extracted from the SIA website in the eAIP section (ENR 3.8). A basic analysis is then realized with GeoPandas The following questions are notably addressed:
- How many Area Control Centers (ACC), sectors and airspace volumes over Metropolitan France?
- How many volumes and sectors per ACC?
- Which are the largest and smallest airspace volumes and elementary sectors?
- Which flight levels are used (per ACC)?
- Which elementary sectors are composed of most different volumes?
Example: display all airspace volumes at FL350
You can first generate sectors and volumes files (sectors.csv and volumes.geojson) with tables_building.ipynb, and then run the analysis with atc_sector_analysis.ipynb
