Dataset for EUROCONTROL PRC 2024 Data Challenge on Aircraft Take-off Weight Estimation

This dataset was created for the EUROCONTROL Performance Review Commission (PRC) Data Challenge 2024, which aimed to engage data scientists and aviation enthusiasts in developing open models to estimate aircraft take-off weight from readily available open data sources.<br><br><strong>Overview</strong>---The dataset represents a unique collection of otherwise difficult-to-obtain flight information, combining:- Flight information (origin/destination, take-off/landing times, aircraft type)- ADS-B trajectory data from OpenSky- Actual take-off weight data from airlines<br>This dataset contains 527,162 flights flown throughout Europe in 2022, representing 6.1% of all flights in EUROCONTROL airspace.<br><br><strong>DOI for the data repository</strong>---https://doi.org/10.4121/8cb8484b-dbe7-4750-8b87-a5b1dbc621b4<br><br><strong>Background</strong>---Aircraft take-off weight (ATOW) is a critical parameter for modeling fuel consumption and estimating aviation emissions. This dataset enables the development of open models to predict ATOW from publicly available flight data.<br><br><strong>Citation</strong>---If you use data from this repository, please cite this dataset and also the following paper:<br><strong>Aircraft Take-off Weight Estimation: The EUROCONTROL PRC 2024 Data Challenge</strong>Enrico Spinielli; Junzi Sun; Martin Strohmeier; Xavier Olive; Quinten Goens; Rainer Koelle; Allan Tart; John FitzgeraldJournal of Open Aviation Science, 2025https://doi.org/10.59490/joas.2025.8252<br><br><strong>Dataset composition</strong>---The dataset consists of two main components:<br>1. Actual Take-off Weight (ATOW) Data- Source: EUROCONTROL's Network Manager augmented with airline-provided take-off weight data- Airline information is anonymized with agreements for open data sharing- Total: 527,162 flights with complete weight information<br>2. Trajectory Data- Source: OpenSky Network ADS-B state vectors- Enhanced with meteorological data from Copernicus ERA5 via the fastmeto library- Time window: 5 minutes before actual off-block time to 30 minutes after arrival<br>本数据集为欧洲空中航行安全组织（EUROCONTROL）性能评审委员会（Performance Review Commission, PRC）2024年数据挑战赛打造，旨在邀请数据科学家与航空爱好者依托公开易得的数据源开发开源模型，以估算飞机起飞重量。 <strong>数据集概览</strong>——本数据集收录了原本难以获取的航班相关信息，整合了以下三类数据： - 航班基础信息（起讫地、起降时刻、航空器型号） - 来自OpenSky的自动相关监视广播（ADS-B）轨迹数据 - 航空公司提供的实际起飞重量数据 本数据集涵盖2022年欧洲境内执飞的527162架次航班，占欧洲空中航行安全组织（EUROCONTROL）空域内总航班量的6.1%。 <strong>数据集仓储DOI</strong>——https://doi.org/10.4121/8cb8484b-dbe7-4750-8b87-a5b1dbc621b4 <strong>研究背景</strong>——飞机起飞重量（Aircraft Take-off Weight, ATOW）是建模燃油消耗与估算航空排放的关键参数。本数据集支持基于公开航班数据开发开源模型以预测飞机起飞重量。 <strong>引用说明</strong>——若使用本仓储中的数据，请同时引用本数据集与以下论文： <strong>飞机起飞重量估算：欧洲空中航行安全组织（EUROCONTROL）PRC 2024数据挑战赛</strong> Enrico Spinielli; Junzi Sun; Martin Strohmeier; Xavier Olive; Quinten Goens; Rainer Koelle; Allan Tart; John Fitzgerald 《开放航空科学杂志（Journal of Open Aviation Science）》，2025年 DOI：https://doi.org/10.59490/joas.2025.8252 <strong>数据集构成</strong>——本数据集包含两大核心组成部分： 1. 实际起飞重量（ATOW）数据 - 数据来源：欧洲空中航行安全组织（EUROCONTROL）网络管理器（Network Manager）结合航空公司提供的起飞重量数据 - 航空公司信息已通过匿名化协议实现开源数据共享 - 总规模：包含527162架次完整重量信息的航班 2. 轨迹数据 - 数据来源：OpenSky网络自动相关监视广播（ADS-B）状态向量数据 - 通过fastmeto库整合了哥白尼计划ERA5气象数据 - 时间窗口：实际滑出停机位时刻前5分钟至抵达后30分钟
