How to Create AMDB

GoSoft, the market leader in Indian aviation information,  applies proven expertise and resources to enhance  safety and operational efficiency on the ground. GoSoft’s Airport Mapping Data delivers more detailed and dynamic information through a 3 step data layering approach described below.  Finally, all created data is subjected to rigorous validation including quality assurance and control procedures.

Geo-Reference Satellite Imagery

High resolution satellite images are captured over the airport and provided to GoSoft.  These images are geo-referenced with the use of very precise ground control points.

Digitize Feature Classes

Imagine that the raw data comFeature classes are digitized from the geo-referenced image. These features consist of runways, taxiways, aprons, shoulders, buildings, etc. (See RTCA DO-272/EUROCAE ED-99 for all the supported AMDB feature classes.)ing fast and furious from many sources is the foundation of your big data strategy. This data is saturated with geographic elements that you’re probably not using. Geographic tools help you filter and convert those elements into geographic layers of information. You can analyze those layers to create new, more useful maps for decision making.

Add Detailed Attributes

Detailed attributes are added to the features based on image interpretation from GoSoft’s internal airport databases and from our navigation charts.

Benefits of AMDB

Global Aviation Challenge

Ensuring safety and efficiency on the ground is a complex and constant challenge for airports around the world. It requires the precise coordination of a diverse range of activities which can only be achieved through reliable access to accurate, timely and high-quality airport information.

Our AMDB serves two main purposes. First it is a highly accurate and detailed map of aerodrome features. Second, the database contains elevation data of the local terrain and obstacles which is crucial information for airport planning activities. These databases are created using GIS software to extract 3D features in point, line or polygon format as layers inside GIS databases.

GoSoft's Solution

GoSoft provides the most complete, current and accurate database of Indian aviation information. For more than 10 years GoSoft has been the leading provider of high-quality aeronautical information solutions to aviation professionals and infrastructure companies. We are now applying the same expertise to support airport/ ground and training solutions and applications through our comprehensive Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Airport Mapping Database (AMDB).

GoSoft’s AMDB provides clear advantages over alternative solutions. For example, CAD and As-Built diagrams do not provide the geospatial accuracy and intelligent data that are inherent with GoSoft’s AMDB. These older solutions do not provide the geospatial accuracy and analytic capabilities which are now required for new airport and aeronautical applications. In addition, GoSoft’s AMDB is geo-corrected to an earth-centered reference frame, eliminating the need to rely on local reference systems.

Why GoSoft

Equipped with GoSoft’s AMDB, your airport applications and services can provide a more complete overview of on-the-ground information and activity, allowing for more efficient surface movement coordination and enhanced airport safety through improved awareness.

GoSoft maintains the industry’s most rigorous validation procedures to ensure the accuracy, timeliness and reliability of our airport mapping database. In addition, we employ a dedicated team of experienced professionals to monitor, verify and communicate modifications to the geospatial dataset.

At GoSoft, we also continually pursue opportunities to enhance our data and deliver additional value-added services that contribute to even greater safety and efficiency on the ground. In addition, we continually identify and explore new ways to expand our airport solution offerings to support your current and evolving needs.

GoSoft puts large amounts of aeronautical information to work for you. Our comprehensive database works in conjunction with your airport applications and systems, supplying a wide range of fully integrated information. This comprehensive information allows you to easily and cost-effectively enhance the capabilities of your ground-based systems, without diverting valuable resources from your organization’s core competencies. GoSoft also performs routine database maintenance and updates to ensure you are working with the latest information.
