EUROCONTROL's INVENTAIR
ENVISA was mandated by EUROCONTROL to create a website dedicated to global aircraft emissions. The site will allow registered users to download and visualise worldwide emission grids based on WISDOM flight movement database.
Advanced Emission Model – AEM
Dates: 2004 - 2008
ENVISA is in charge of designing, developing and validating EUROCONTROL’s Advanced Emission Model (AEM). This is a stand-alone system used to estimate aviation emissions (CO2, H2O, SOx, NOx, HC, CO, PM, VOC, TOG) and fuel burn. AEM processes flight profile data on a flight-by-flight basis for air traffic scenarios of almost any scope, from regional to global emissions.
The tool is available in different versions, depending on the size of the traffic samples to be processed (PC/Access, Batch/Oracle and C).
ENVISA was mandated to:
- design and develop the latest versions of the Advanced Emission Model
- update underlying system databases (such as aircraft/engines, fuel burn rates and emission indices databases) with the latest datasets from multiple external sources
- perform validation exercises of the fuel burn calculated by AEM versus actual fuel consumption information provided by airlines.
