Abstract

The dramatic growth in the air traffic levels witnessed during the last two decades has increased the interest for optimizing the Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems. The main objective is being able to cope with the sustained air traffic growth under safe, economic, efficient and environmental friendly working conditions. The ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast) system is part of the new air traffic control systems, since it allows to substitute the secondary radar with cheaper ground stations that, at the same time, provide more accurate real-time positioning information. However, this system generates a large volume of data that, when combined with other flight-related data, such as flight plans or weather reports, faces scalability issues. This paper introduces an (on-going) Data Lake based architecture which allows the full ADS-B data life-cycle to be supported in a scalable and cost-effective way using technologies from the Apache Hadoop ecosystem.
