The ALBATROS project's goal is to achieve several innovative results that go beyond the current state of the art in aviation safety. These include:
* A new concept for sharing of safety information, enabling real-time sharing of safety intelligence to support decision making on safety issues, emergencies, and crises.
* A novel approach to risk assessment, incorporating expert insights and multi-actor risk modeling to identify and assess new risks beyond historical data.
* A data-driven approach to assess weather hazards, leveraging the Data4Safety platform to analyze the correlation between weather data, flight data, and safety events.
* Achieving resilience to hard- and software failures, including tracing their impact on overall aircraft safety and security.
* Observability of battery systems, fuel cell stacks, and their ancillary elements failure modes, enabling complete observability by sensors, big data analytics, and model-based behavior forecasting.
* Real-time monitoring of critical parameters of aircraft electrical power networks and hydrogen systems, mitigating risks associated with electrical breakdowns and hydrogen leakage.
* Influencing powertrain component placement on survivability and associated post-impact conditions, expanding safety analysis to include component-level behavior and STPA methodology.
* Developing a digital toolkit to improve human performance in crisis and emergencies, providing guidance, best practices, and decision support solutions for stakeholders involved in emergency response.
* Supporting emergency management with drones, leveraging aerial images and real-time heatmaps to increase the safety of first responders and reduce rescue time.
These results have the potential to significantly improve aviation safety and resilience, and will inform further research and development in these areas
