摘要

As air traffic volume increases, air traffic management (ATM) becomes increasingly important. Accordingly, accurate aircraft trajectory prediction (ATP) is essential for estimating and mitigating potential conflict risks. Among various ATP approaches, deep learning methods are adopted in this study. For sequential trajectory data, a sequence-to-sequence long short-term memory (LSTM) model and a Transformer model are considered. These models are trained using a teacher forcing approach to leverage the ground truth (GT) output sequence during training and to alleviate the significant computational loads of autoregressive training. To address the issue of output error accumulation during inference, an incremental-standard-deviation-based (ISTD) noise model is proposed and incorporated into the decoder input of the models. Numerical simulations based on both synthetic and real airspace scenarios are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
