Big data project: One year project


RFI/RFP: Q3 2013

Start:feb 2014

Validation: october 2014

EIS: january 2015


Big data project: the scope of the first step


Acquire

• Raw data

Organize

• Current tools compatibilityData triggering

Analyse

• Machine learning…

Decide

• Discovery tools

No functional impact for the user

Enhancements :• Less overhead to get the data• Full campaign on-line


Main challenges ?


Large time series

Big data appliance• noSQL database• HADOOP cluster

Up to 4 flights 2 times a day

Injection by burst

Big Data application : Improve « Data retrieval »

Save flight hours• Easy search will be generalized

« search autopilot on & altitude > 30000 ft & Mn>0.8 & bank > 5° then and plot the vertical load factor »

• Opportunities to bridge with other database (configuration, logs,…)

Compare versions in the frame of incremental development


A320 :1988 Sharklet 2012 NEO 2015


Big Data application : Perform « Data re-use »

Increase system design maturity • use the data for design verification prior implementation in avionic

software (robustness)

Continuous detection of anomalies on the whole campaign • Tuning and re-launch surveillance algorithms

• Patterns recognition out of the « usual » enveloppe



Big Data application : Accelerate « Test Analysis »

Enhance the analysis through statistical tools

• Correlation analysis: eg : longitudinal oscillation A380 specific flight needed to understand the root cause


Mn=0.85->0.8Mn=0.85 Mn=0.85

No stimulation stimulationNo stimulation

• « Self » learning and clustering capability
