Air Traffic Routing With Memgraph
Blog post from Memgraph
Air traffic control (ATC) is a complex and critical task that involves ensuring safe and efficient navigation of aircraft, which can be improved through the use of advanced tools like Memgraph Lab. Memgraph Lab helps visualize and calculate common ATC tasks by representing airports and waypoints as nodes in a graph, with airways as the relationships between them, allowing for the simulation of flight paths and the analysis of navigation points using graph database functionalities. By loading data sets of airports, waypoints, and their connections into Memgraph Lab, users can visualize and determine the shortest or safest paths for flights, accommodate emergency landings, and avoid hazardous weather conditions. Additionally, the platform provides a Style Editor to customize the visual presentation of graphs, enhancing the understanding and interpretability of complex flight scenarios. This tool demonstrates the potential for optimization in aviation through graph databases, offering speed, visual clarity, and ease of data manipulation.
