Large-Scale ADS-B Data and Signal Quality Analysis

To investigate the contradicting findings of previous studies that investigated ADS-B quality, a study was per-formed to analyze the data and signal quality of ADS-B. For this study, a large dataset of raw ADS-B messages was analyzed, regarding the quality of the data and the signal, differentiating between internal and external sources of errors. The conclusions from this analysis show that ADS-B indeed is a promising technology, where aircraft are able to accurately report their navigational parameters, but that external factors (e.g., reception probability and malfunctioning on-board equipment) can cause issues with the usability of ADS-B as a primary means of surveillance.
