Abstract:

The weather cameras have provided additional observations and are used routinely by pilots, dispatchers, meteorologists, and FAA Flight Service Specialist*. However, current camera limitations include limited to no use during nighttime conditions and the need for human interpretation of conditions presented on the cameras which adds to user workload and typically can not be done enroute. To address these shortfalls, the FAA Aviation Weather Division (ANG-C61) funded the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory (MIT/LL) to develop the Visibility Estimation through Image Analytics (VEIA) algorithm. The VEIA algorithm is intended to supplement visibility observations currently used in Alaska and may help improve safety by providing greater situation awareness. The VEIA algorithm is still in the research and development phase. The FAA Aviation Weather Demonstration and Evaluation (AWDE)Services Team was tasked to conduct a virtual 4-6 week evaluation focused on determining the usability and suitability of VEIA.*Due delays in Labor Relation coordination, FAA FSS were not able to participate during the assessment period. Coordination is in progress and data collection will begin as soon as coordination is complete.
