The traffic library helps working with common sources of air traffic data.
Its main purpose is to offer basic cumbersome data analysis methods commonly applied to trajectories and ATC sectors. When a specific function is not provided, the access to the underlying structure is direct, through an attribute pointing to a pandas dataframe.
The library also offers facilities to parse and/or access traffic data from open sources of ADS-B traffic like the OpenSky Network or Eurocontrol DDR files. It is designed to be easily extendable to other sources of data.
Eventually, static and dynamic output are available for Matplotlib, Google Earth (kmz) and CesiumJS (czml).
