Wind Risk Assessment

The Wind Risk Assessment Tool enables detailed analysis of wind patterns and potential operational risks for UAV flights. Users can tailor the assessment by selecting the level of detail (high or low resolution), the city of operation, altitude, wind direction, and the parameter to be visualized, either wind speed or turbulence intensity. By leveraging high-resolution wind simulation datasets, the tool identifies and visualizes areas that may pose risks to flight stability. This allows operators to better anticipate hazardous conditions and enhance operational safety. When combined with the Airflow Trajectory Optimization tool, it supports the identification of optimal flight paths that balance operational efficiency (e.g., increased in-service time) with safety considerations by avoiding areas characterized by high wind speeds or turbulence.

The tools have been developed by TUD & KTH.
