Data sample for Mercury simulator

Sample data to run Mercury

Mercury is available at: https://github.com/UoW-ATM/Mercury

This file contains a sample of input data for the open-source air mobility simulator Mercury. Please use use version 3 of the dataset for Mercury 3.0 and version X.Y.Z for Mercury X.Y.

The dataset is structured as follows:

• input: Input folder for Mercury
  • input/scenario=-1: Folder containing scenario -1 with about 1000 flights anonymised.
  • input/scenario=-1/scenario_config.toml: Configuration file for the scenario
  • input/scenario=-1/data: data provided is organised as follows:
    • ac_performance: aircraft performance dataset. Requires BADA files (not provided, BADA files need to be structured inside provided folders (see Mercury Readme)
    • airlines: static information on airlines used in the scenario
    • airports: static information on airports, including capacity declarations and minimum turnaround time. Two subfolders included: taxi (with taxi-in and taxi-out times) and curfew (with curfew times)
    • costs: data required to define cost functions
    • delay: delay parameters (non-ATFM)
    • eaman: definition of EAMAN in scenario (scope)
    • flight_plans: information on the flight plans, contains:
      • crco: not provided as not needed to run Mercury (used for FP generation)
      • en_route_wind: not provided as not needed to run Mercury (used for FP generation)
      • flight_plans_pool: pool of flight plans for o-d ac type triplets
      • flight_uncertainty: distributions to model uncertainty on the realisation of the flight plans
      • routes: routes available between o-d pairs (used only for HMI and for FP generation (not needed to run Mercury))
      • trajectories: trajectories available from o-d ac type triplets (used only for HMI and for FP generation (not needed to run Mercury))
      • network_manager: ATFM probabilities, distributions and definition
    • pax: passenger itineraries for flights provided
    • scenario: static information on scenario (to be deprecated in subsequent updates)
    • schedules: flight schedules provided (note these will determine which airports, flight plans, etc. are provided in the dataset)
  • input/scenario=-1/case_sdudies: folder to contain the definition of case studies
    • case_study=0: default case study with the configuration file (case_study_config.toml)
