Trajectory Clustering and an Application to Airspace Monitoring

Gariel, Maxime, Srivastava, Ashok N., Feron, Eric

Understand

This paper presents a framework aimed at monitoring the behavior of aircraft in a given airspace.

  • Nominal trajectories are determined and learned using data driven methods.
  • Standard procedures are used by air traffic controllers (ATC) to guide aircraft, ensure the safety of the airspace, and to maximize the runway occupancy.
  • Even though standard procedures are used by ATC, the control of the aircraft remains with the pilots, leading to a large variability in the flight patterns observed.
