CONTRAILS-Projekt: Aufruf für Projekte zwischen Frankreich und Deutschland zu KI-Technologien für Risikoprävention, Krisenmanagement und Resilienz
Initiative overview
The CONTRAILS project is carried out under the France–Germany Call for Projects on AI technologies for risk prevention, crisis management, and resilience (2022). It aims to combine trusted artificial intelligence techniques with physical modelling to advance understanding of condensation trails (contrails) and their role in climate change.
The project pursues several objectives:
- Improve identification and characterisation of contrails through AI-supported analysis
- Enhance data assimilation and prediction models to forecast contrail formation and persistence
- Provide tools to assess the impact of contrails on the climate
- Support future trajectory optimisation tests designed to prevent or minimise contrail formation
By coupling AI technologies with environmental and atmospheric models, CONTRAILS contributes to climate mitigation strategies in aviation. It also demonstrates how cross-border collaboration can accelerate innovation in AI for climate resilience and risk management.
