AirportDataBase

A program to parse and provide search functions for a global database file on airports. I am using the data from OpenFlights which has over 10,000 entries. Each entry has 14 data points that range from name and ICAO code to it's exact coordinates.

Features to be implemented

  • More robust inputs. Clean all invalid inputs from being used in searches.
  • A searching system that suggests similar results to the input entered by the user and not only exact results which can often be hard to find.
  • Possibly update the program to support other datafiles from OpenFlights. There is a similar file that has a database file of airports, train stations and ferry terminals.
  • A GUI to make the program look nice and organised.

Implemented features

  • Implement a function where a user can enter a set of coordinates and see if there is any other airports in a specific radius surrounding it.
  • Dynamic allocation to allow to minimise wasted memory due to the huge variety of lengths of airport names.
  • Implemented a sorting system to rank the closest airports when the user is searching for them rather than having an undordered list.
  • Search functions to search by each identifying piece of information for a particular airport.
