A Python Mode-S Decoder
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Python library for Mode-S message decoding. Two separate methods are
|
|
implemented to decode the following messages:
|
|
|
|
- Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) (DF17)
|
|
|
|
- aircraft information that contains: ICAO address, position,
|
|
altitude, velocity (ground speed), callsign, etc.
|
|
|
|
- Mode-S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) (DF20 and DF21). Additional information in response to SSR interrogation, such as: true airspeed, indicated airspeed, mach number, wind, temperature, etc.
|
|
- BDS 2,0 Aircraft identification
|
|
- BDS 2,1 Aircraft and airline registration markings
|
|
- BDS 4,0 Selected vertical intention
|
|
- BDS 4,4 Meteorological routine air report
|
|
- BDS 5,0 Track and turn report
|
|
- BDS 5,3 Air-referenced state vector
|
|
- BDS 6,0 Heading and speed report
|
|
|
|

Install
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Checkout source code, or install using pip:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
pip install pyModeS
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
import pyModeS as pms
|
|
|
|
|
|
Common function for Mode-S message:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
pms.df(msg) # Downlink Format
|
|
pms.crc(msg, encode=False) # Perform CRC or generate parity bit
|
|
|
|
pms.hex2bin(str) # Convert hexadecimal string to binary string
|
|
pms.bin2int(str) # Convert binary string to integer
|
|
pms.hex2int(str) # Convert hexadecimal string to integer
|
|
|
|
|
|
Core functions for ADS-B decoding:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
pms.adsb.icao(msg)
|
|
pms.adsb.callsign(msg)
|
|
|
|
pms.adsb.position(msg_even, msg_odd, t_even, t_odd, lat_ref=None, lon_ref=None)
|
|
pms.adsb.airborne_position(msg_even, msg_odd, t_even, t_odd)
|
|
pms.adsb.surface_position(msg_even, msg_odd, t_even, t_odd, lat_ref, lon_ref)
|
|
|
|
pms.adsb.position_with_ref(msg, lat_ref, lon_ref)
|
|
pms.adsb.airborne_position_with_ref(msg, lat_ref, lon_ref)
|
|
pms.adsb.surface_position_with_ref(msg, lat_ref, lon_ref)
|
|
|
|
pms.adsb.altitude(msg)
|
|
|
|
pms.adsb.velocity(msg) # handles both surface & airborne messages
|
|
pms.adsb.speed_heading(msg) # handles both surface & airborne messages
|
|
pms.adsb.surface_velocity(msg)
|
|
pms.adsb.airborne_velocity(msg)
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Hint: When you have a fix position of the aircraft, it is convenient to
|
|
use `position_with_ref()` method to decode with only one position message
|
|
(either odd or even). This works with both airborne and surface position
|
|
messages. But the reference position shall be with in 180NM (airborne)
|
|
or 45NM (surface) of the true position.**
