Next generation models and methods for aircraft pollutants and noise estimation – NEEDED

Air transport is a crucial part of modern logistics and transportation, yet it is necessary to reduce the sector’s emissions and environmental damage, and introduce green innovations. The EU is trying to collect reliable and precise data on predicted aircraft emissions, whether noise or pollutants, to create improved policies.

The EU-funded NEEDED project will provide next generation data-driven reference models and methods to properly deduce current and future aircraft emissions. To achieve this, the project will use real-world ADS-B data to enhance aircraft operations reconstruction and to improve the estimations of the aircraft emissions and the number of people affected by local air transport operations.

NEEDED is funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under GA no. 101095754

Funding: €4.000.000

Start date: 1 January, 2023
