Welcome to AeroMAPS Documentation!¶
The objective of this documentation is to provide the main elements concerning AeroMAPS.
In particular, see:
- Overview — general principles of AeroMAPS.
- Installation — quick use and installation processes.
- API Reference — understanding the intended use of user-facing functions and classes.
- AeroMAPS Models — details on each model used by the framework.
- Examples — several example applications.
About AeroMAPS¶
AeroMAPS is an open-source Python framework for performing Multidisciplinary Assessment of Prospective Scenarios for air transport. It is a simplified sectoral Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) focusing on air transport transition, aiming at assessing the sustainability of air transport transition scenarios on multiple criteria. For instance, it allows simulating and analysing scenarios for reducing aviation climate impacts through various levers of action.
The objective is to provide:
- a modular framework for research addressing aviation transitions and sustainability
- a simplified graphical user interface for teaching
- a tool to support decision-making by institutional, industrial or private stakeholders
AeroMAPS is developed by ISAE-SUPAERO (Université de Toulouse, France) since 2020 (formerly CAST). It is fed by research collaborations with several organisations (TU Delft, Airbus, DTU) and multidisciplinary research activities from the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (TBS, CERFACS). It relies on several open-source scientific packages, including in particular GEMSEO, AeroCM and lca-modeller.
AeroMAPS is licensed under the GPL-3.0 license.
