Roadmap

The plan is to release subsequent improvements of the Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI) data sets every two months.

Future Releases

This release aims to include the following improvements:

Use 5-sec resolution trajectories
Larger time frame for the available data sets (goal: 1 year).
Improving the initial flight event extractions by fine tuning parameters and algorithms.
Improvement in flight list Aerodrome of Departure (ADEP) / Aerodrome of Destination (ADES) approximations using H3 geospatial indexing system.
Inclusion of new event types and occurrences:
- off-block
- in-block
- runway entry
- runway exit

In the longer term the OPDI aims to include the following improvements:

Include more events
- Flight Information Region (FIR) crossing
- start and stop of holdings
Use third party trajectory data (aside from the available via OpenSky Network (OSN)).
Validate flight events and measurements using third party data.
Provide easy access to OSN state vector trajectories at 5-sec granularity
Provide cleaned up state vector based trajectories, i.e. remove vertical glitches (via filter() in traffic library), associate meteorological information (via fastmeteo library), remove dirty trajectories (too small/short), …

An overview of past releases and the various versions were used in each OPDI version can be seen below.
