tangram
tangram is an open framework that aggregates and processes ADS-B and Mode S surveillance data for real-time analysis. It provides a flexible plugin architecture where users can easily implement custom analyzers for their specific needs.
The system consists of a JavaScript frontend and a Python backend built with FastAPI. The backend efficiently aggregates data from multiple receiver streams and exposes a WebSocket interface, enabling real-time data visualization and analysis in the browser-based frontend.
Documentation
Documentation is available at https://mode-s.org/tangram/
Tests
Unit tests are limited to what invidual components can provide, including jet1090.\ The system is designed to be modular, so each component can be tested independently.
Integration tests is currently limited to the construction of the container image, with the just create-tangram command.
Funding
This project is currently funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO)'s Open Science Fund, OSF23.1.051: https://www.nwo.nl/en/projects/osf231051.
History
In 2020, @junzis and @xoolive published a paper Detecting and Measuring Turbulence from Mode S Surveillance Downlink Data on how real-time Mode S data can be used to detect turbulence.
Based on this method, @MichelKhalaf started developing this tool as part of his training with @xoolive in 2021, which was completed in Summer 2022. After that, the project was then lightly maintained by @xoolive and @junzis, while we have been applying for funding to continue this tool.
And in 2023, we received funding from NWO to continue the development of this tool. With this funding, @emctoo from Shinetech was hired to work alongside us on this open-source project.
