The Surface Operations Data Analysis and Adaptation tool: Innovations and applications

This paper describes the Surface Operations Data Analysis and Adaptation (SODAA) tool, which has been developed by Mosaic ATM and NASA. The SODAA tool provides database management of multiple aviation data sources including both airport surface surveillance data, flight data, flight operator-originated data and many other aviation data sources. The paper describes the design of the SODAA system, as well as many analyses that have been conducted using SODAA.
