ABSTRACT
This paper describes the application of The MITRE Corporation's Aviation
Safety Data Mining Workbenc h to American Airline's Aviation Safety Action
Program (ASAP) data, to demonstrate the usefulness of data and text mining tools
in the analysis of aviation safety data and assess the ability of these tools
to enhance internal airline safety analysis.
This work was done in support of the efforts of the Analytical Methods and
Tools Working Group B of the Global Aviation Information Network (GAIN). In compliance
with the Working Group B's objectives, the objective of this project was
to apply MITRE's Aviation Safety Data Mining Workbench to ASAP data and
demonstrate the ease of installation and use of the tool, the usefulness and effectiveness
of the tool and its capabilities, the quality of the results generated by the
tool, and the applicability of the results to address areas of interest to the
flight safety community.
Prior to beginning the project, MITRE and American Airlines signed a License
Agreement and a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to not disclose proprietary and
company-confidential information.
