Description

Aviation information service data standardization system and method Technical Field Examples of the present disclosure relate to receiving aviation data from different countries and normalizing the data into a generic format for planning a flight and/or controlling an aircraft during the flight. Background Digital aviation navigation data is information used by pilots and air traffic control during flight to ensure that the flight is safe. This information may be used to plan the flight, navigate (e.g., avoid obstacles or other aircraft), perform emergency procedures during the flight, etc. The information may include electronic maps of the airport, weather information, programs of the aircraft at the airport, temporary hazards, air traffic control information, and the like. Aviation Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) from different countries provide digital aviation navigation data, such as Aviation Information Service (AIS) data, in the form of digital data sets. While these datasets exist in the form of an aviation information exchange model (AIXM) in the form of a globally accepted data model and data exchange standard, the countries still provide individual AIS datasets from each country's own AIXM version or "flavor" or in disparate formats (e.g., csv, xml, JSON, shape, etc.). Currently, although most known digital data sources are available, they are not used in boeing production systems because the data is still provided or published in a paper format (i.e., as part of the Aviation Information Publication (AIP), which may be retrieved in unstructured formats such as pdf and html). Some exceptions are barrier data sets, called eTOD (electronic topography and barrier data), which are provided in digital format by many countries and are then no longer published in AIP. For these cases, country-specific data conversion may be applied in the jeppsen production process to map and convert the data to a USF format, which may then be loaded into jeppsen barrier database (JODA). For all other digital sources, e.g. AIP datasets containing navigation data, there is currently no solution that will take advantage of the advantages of handling digital data sources, such as improved data quality and reduced manual interaction with data, as in that case no user is required for data verification. Disclosure of Invention In one example, an aviation navigation data normalization system is provided that includes modules formed of hardware circuitry and one or more processors. The modules include a data import module configured to receive a data set of aviation navigation data from an ANSP located in a different country, a detection module configured to examine the data set and identify one or both of the aviation navigation data in the data set or the country in which the ANSP is located, a memory module configured to select one or more data normalization conditions for the one or more data sets to alter the aviation navigation data in the one or more data sets based on one or more previous detections of the type of aviation navigation data or of one or more previously altered countries, and an execution module configured to alter the aviation navigation data in accordance with the selected one or more data normalization conditions, the execution module configured to alter one or both of a format or syntax of the aviation navigation data in the one or more data sets. In another example, an aviation navigation data normalization method includes receiving a dataset of aviation navigation data from an ANSP located in a different country, identifying one or both of the aviation navigation data in the dataset or the country in which the ANSP is located, selecting one or more data normalization conditions for one or more datasets to change the aviation navigation data in the one or more datasets based on one or more previous detections of aviation navigation data types or one or more previously changed countries for the one or more previous datasets, and changing the aviation navigation data according to one or both of the selected one or more data normalization conditions, a format or syntax of the aviation navigation data changed in the one or more datasets. In another example, another aviation navigation data normalization system includes a data import module configured to receive a data set of aviation navigation data from an ANSP, a detection module configured to examine the data set and identify a type of aviation navigation data in the data set, a memory module configured to select one or more data normalization conditions for the one or more data sets based on one or more previous detections of one or more previously changed types of aviation navigation data for the one or more data sets to change the aviation navigation data in the one or more data sets, and an execution module configured to change the aviation navigation data according to the selected one or more data normalization conditions, the execution module
