GeoEvents
GeoEvents is intended to solve the issues in Pilot Plus Challenge. GeoEvents will enable the passenger to see what is going and has happened around his location underneath the earth, over the earth and in the space!
Background: today, passengers and pilots face many challenges while flying including:
Un-predicted Air Turbulence (pilots)
Relying on the pilots experience to guess expected air turbulences
Flight passengers aren't aware of near-flight events, nature and landmarks
Our approach: using huge set of structured and un-structured data, :
Previous Flight Data
Applying an Algorithm process of association
Providing both the pilot & the passengers with an early warning system
Our Solution: GeoEvents will provide passengers and pilot with events happening around their current location underneath the earth, underwater, on land and in the space.
