🌱✈️3 new releases of our #environmental impact assessment tools just out – covering 🛬 #airport air quality modelling, ✈️ aircraft #emissions & fuel burn, and 🚁 helicopter Landing and Take-Off (LTO) emissions. All 3 tools form part of our #Trajectory2030🛫 strategy commitment to help our sector achieve its #NetZero targets by measuring both CO2 & non-CO2 emissions, air quality & noise. 🛬 Open-ALAQS v5, the open-source QGIS plugin for airport air quality modelling, introduces aircraft emissions from ADS-B trajectories, meteorology from METAR observations, migration tools for legacy studies, an in-plugin AUSTAL workflow guide, calculation fixes and performance optimisations. Aircraft emissions calculations are fully validated against the ICAO Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (#CAEP) reference. ℹ️More info: GitHub https://lnkd.in/e6_nvneq or contact the team [email protected] ✈️AEM 2.6.3 introduces PyAEM, a Python wrapper enabling the AEM C++ emissions calculation library to run on segmented 4D trajectories. The release also includes the advanced MEEM v1 method for computing non-volatile particulate matter emissions. ℹ️Contact the team for more info and access: [email protected] 🚁 A new standalone Python library, heli-lto, implements the Swiss FOCA methodology for calculating helicopter LTO emissions & generating per-category trajectories for single & twin-engine helicopters. ℹ️Access the GitHub repository: https://lnkd.in/eMq5-Quv or contact the team [email protected]
