• Abstract: The booming air transportation industry inevitably burdens air traffic controllers' workload, causing unexpected human factor-related incidents. Current air traffic control systems fail to consider spoken instructions for traffic prediction, bringing significant challenges in detecting human errors during real-time traffic operations. Here, we present an automation paradigm integrating controlling intent into the information processing loop through the spoken instruction-aware flight trajectory prediction framework. A 3-stage progressive multi-modal learning paradigm is proposed to address the modality gap between the trajectory and spoken instructions, as well as minimize the data requirements. Experiments on a real-world dataset show the proposed framework achieves flight trajectory prediction with high predictability and timeliness, obtaining over 20% relative reduction in mean deviation error. Moreover, the generalizability of the proposed framework is also confirmed by various model architectures. The proposed framework can formulate full-automated information processing in real-world air traffic applications, supporting human error detection and enhancing aviation safety.

  A self-driving vehicle (SDV) must be able to perceive its surroundings and predict the future behavior of other traffic participants. Existing works either perform object detection followed by trajectory of the detected objects, or predict dense occupancy and flow grids for the whole scene. This motivates our unified approach to perception and future prediction that implicitly represents occupancy and flow over time with a single neural network.

  Air turbulence forecasting can help airlines avoid hazardous turbulence, guide routes that keep passengers safe, maximize efficiency, reduce costs. Traditional forecasting approaches rely on painstakingly customized turbulence indexes, which are less effective in dynamic and complex weather conditions. We propose a machine learning based turbulence forecasting system due to two challenges: (1) Complex-temporal correlations, and (2) scarcity, very limited turbulence labels can be obtained.
