Data Quality Tool Set - DQTS

DQTS is a set of software tools for assuring the quality of aeronautical navigation data.

The tool set was commissioned by EUROCONTROL, the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation.

The tool set includes:

• CRC Generation and Verification Tool
• Geodetic Datum Transformation Tool (Converts between a defined geodetic datum and a map projection; transforms between two defined geodetic datums)
• Join/Inverse Tool (Calculates bearing and distance along a geodetic line between given coordinates)
• Polar/Direct Tool (Calculates coordinates based upon bearing and distance along a geodetic line from given co-ordinates)
• Intersect Tool (Calculates coordinates at the intersection of two geodesics)
• Collinearity Tool (Calculates line of best fit, and residuals, from given set of points)
• Geolat Tool (Calculates points of intersection between a geodesic and up to 3 small circles; nearest approach distances of a geodesic to a point and geodesics tangential to a small circle)
• Checkloc Tool (Verifies that given coordinates lie within a defined geographical area)
• Geoborder Intersection Tool (Calculates intersection points between a geoborder and a circle or geodesic)
