Abstract:
|
Have you ever been stuck in an airport because your flight was delayed or cancelled and wondered if you could have predicted it if you'd had more data? This is your chance to find out. In this poster presentation, entrants will present their views of flight arrival and departure details for all commercial flights within the USA, from October 1987 to April 2008. This is a large data set: there are nearly 120 million records in total, and takes up 1.6 gigabytes of space compressed and 12 gigabytes when uncompressed.
