Abstract

In aviation, transportation is a direct connection between the fuel consumed by aircrafts and carbon dioxide emissions. A new solution for determination of the necessary aircraft fuel will lead to companies’ savings and environment protection. The proposed method considers the commercial passenger aviation. The software developed by International Civil Aviation (ICAO) use a methodology for simulation of necessary fuel and for computing carbon emissions. A part of this methodology uses fixed value for passenger’s weight determination. Not all passengers from a flight have the same weight and, thus, the proposed method could replace the fixed value. Based on mathematical morphology operators, the new algorithm will improve the accuracy of aircraft fuel consumption with significant results on environmental protection.
