# TOPIC 8
|
||
|
||
Develop an R-based software, which will perform the following tasks:
|
||
|
||
1. download from the OpenSky Network online database the observations of the trajectory of a randomly selected aircraft on a randomly selected flight over at least five days, in uninterrupted continuity (1)
|
||
|
||
2. perform the selections in the graphical user interface (GUI) of your R script,
|
||
|
||
3. determine the characteristics of each trajectory according to the parameters: diffusion distance, straightness, duration of travel, mean travel velocity and fractal dimension (2),
|
||
|
||
4. using the R library trajr, (4) perform basic statistical analysis of the parameters of daily trajectories from (3): arithmetic mean, variance, quartiles, boxplot, estimate of the density function of the experimental statistical distribution, analyze and interpret them.
|
||
|
||
5. Demonstrate the application of the developed software support on a selected example of use.
|
||
|
||
6. In the final project report, describe the problem, describe the method and the developed software support in the R environment, present and interpret the results, and form a conclusion.

## Setup
|
||
|
||
Use [renv](https://rstudio.github.io/renv/articles/renv.html) to install the correct dependencies using
|
||
|
||
``` r
|
||
renv::restore()
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
[OpenSky](https://opensky-network.org) access also requires credentials placed in a `.env` file, for which an example is provided in `.env.example`.
