SAIRA Data Collection Service

Location

Description

An application programming interface (API) will be developed to facilitate the upload of data files by airline staff and retrieval of data files/points by the Met Office. Once data is received, the system will automatically merge the incoming SAIRA files and process the radiation dose information, streamlining the workflow and reducing manual intervention. To safeguard against data loss and ensure long-term availability, regular backups will be performed and stored within the UK. Location data directly from the airlines would be preferred, however FlightRadar24, or similar alternatives, can be incorporated to match the SAIRA data to geographic position. The system will utilize Android tablets, one each for British Airways and Virgin Atlantic to begin with, to facilitate the data upload process from SAIRA instruments. A bespoke Android application will be developed and installed on these tablets, providing airline ground staff with secure user accounts. This application will enable users to read data directly from the micro SD cards and upload the extracted files to the cloud server. The design aims to maintain operational familiarity for airline staff while improving reliability and efficiency in data handling.
