Data4Safety: A partnership for a data driven aviation safety analysis in Europe
What is the Data4Safety programme?
Data4Safety (also known as D4S) is a data collection and analysis programme that will support the goal to ensure the highest common level of safety and environmental protection for the European aviation system.
The programme aims at collecting and gathering all data that may support the management of safety risks at European level. This includes safety reports (or occurrences), flight data (i.e. data generated by the aircraft via the Flight Data Recorders), surveillance data (air traffic data), weather data - but those are only a few from a much longer list.
As for the analysis, the programme’s ultimate goal is to help to "know where to look" and to "see it coming". In other words, it will support the Performance-based Environment and set up a more predictive system.
More specifically, the programme will allow to better know where the risks are (safety issue identification), determine the nature of these risks (Risk Assessment) and verify if the safety actions are delivering the needed level of safety (performance measurement). It aims to develop the capability to discover vulnerabilities in the system across terabytes of data.
