ISA Software has designed and developed the ENHANCE tool for EUROCONTROL Experimental Center over the last few years. The tool provides an environment to support your preferred noise modelling tool via a user friendly graphical user interface. Highly adaptable, to suit your noise modelling needs, ENHANCE combines intuitive data management facilities with a valuable noise modelling database relating to Airline fleet mixes and operating conditions. ENHANCE relies on an open architecture that supports the easy integration of an existing noise model (noise engine) through which consistent and reliable modelling scenarios can be constructed.

Better noise contour modelling

ENHANCE uses simulator data, radar data and meteorological data, together with new databases povided by EUROCONTROL and their contractual partners including aircraft profiles and airport procedures at many European airports, to provide better noise contour modeling using a pre-existing noise model.

The ENHANCE approach is based on existing noise contour calculation software (for example, the Integrated Noise Model from FAA), but through a pre-processor function and "European" database, it allows more accurate data input, including radar data and simulation data.

User-friendly graphical interface

ENHANCE allows you to

- Define a noise study on your own PC via a user-friendly interface

- Fully respect the 3D trajectories of each flight in the input data (radar or simulated data)

- Compute realistic flight profiles as input to the noise model (height, speed and thrust) using validated databases of aircraft performance and flight operations

- Insert default values where real-world input data is missing or incomplete, using a standard and consistent database

- Easily perform noise calculations that cover large numbers of flight operations.

ENHANCE uses radar or simulated aircraft tracks and altitude/speed profiles to create more realistic noise contours maps with a pre-existing noise model (here the FAA's Integrated Noise Model).
