Fast Surrogate Models for Adaptive Aircraft Trajectory Prediction in En route Airspace
Nick Pepper, Marc Thomas, Zack Xuereb Conti
Trajectory prediction (TP) is crucial for ensuring safety and efficiency in modern air traffic management systems. It is, for example, a core component of conflict detection and re…
Human-in-the-Loop Testing of AI Agents for Air Traffic Control with a Regulated Assessment Framework
Ben Carvell, Marc Thomas, Andrew Pace +7
We present a rigorous, human-in-the-loop evaluation framework for assessing the performance of AI agents on the task of Air Traffic Control, grounded in a regulator-certified simul…
Online Action-Stacking Improves Reinforcement Learning Performance for Air Traffic Control
Ben Carvell, George De Ath, Eseoghene Benjamin +1
We introduce online action-stacking, an inference-time wrapper for reinforcement learning policies that produces realistic air traffic control commands while allowing training on a…
A Future Capabilities Agent for Tactical Air Traffic Control
Paul Kent, George De Ath, Martin Layton +3
Escalating air traffic demand is driving the adoption of automation to support air traffic controllers, but existing approaches face a trade-off between safety assurance and interp…
A Probabilistic Digital Twin of UK En Route Airspace for Training and Evaluating AI Agents for Air Traffic Control
Nick Pepper, Adam Keane, Amy Hodgkin +11
This paper presents the first probabilistic Digital Twin of operational en route airspace, developed for the London Area Control Centre. The Digital Twin is intended to support the…
A Probabilistic Model for Aircraft in Climb using Monotonic Functional Gaussian Process Emulators
Nick Pepper, Marc Thomas, George De Ath +4
Ensuring vertical separation is a key means of maintaining safe separation between aircraft in congested airspace. Aircraft trajectories are modelled in the presence of significant…
