About

Here we have some information about the different packages and scaffolds used in the project, information on running them can be found in the install section

BlueSky

BlueSky is the currently supported open-source simulator. BlueSky is meant as a tool to perform research on Air Traffic Management and Air Traffic Flows. Citation info: J. M. Hoekstra and J. Ellerbroek, BlueSky ATC Simulator Project: an Open Data and Open Source Approach, Proceedings of the seventh International Conference for Research on Air Transport (ICRAT), 2016.

BlueBird

Python Version License Code Style pre-commit

BlueBird provides a common Flask-based API to multiple air traffic simulators. In addition to basic communication, it also includes features such as state caching, performance metrics (via Aviary), and logging of scenario data. The main purpose of BlueBird is to provide a common interface to ease the research & development of AI for air traffic control.

Twitcher

Twitcher is a front-end for BlueBird for monitoring the simulation via a browser. Twitcher is built using .NET Core and Fable, then compiled to Javascript.

Aviary

Build Status

Aviary is an air traffic scenario generation package developed as part of the BlueBird project. It aims to provide a platform for agent training, by synthetically generating air traffic control scenarios and providing a set of evaluationmetrics for measuring performance.
