  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY PREDICTING A SURFACE MOVEMENT PATH FOR AN AIRCRAFT BASED ON HISTORICAL TRAJECTORY DATA
    Publication number: 20190228668
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically predicting a surface movement path of an aircraft. The method comprises collecting historical aircraft trajectory data from an empirical aircraft path database. Next, aircraft trajectory paths for a designated airport are mapped based on the historical aircraft trajectory data and map data for the designated airport. Different aircraft trajectory paths are each assigned a weight for the designated airport. A graphical display is then generated for each of the aircraft trajectory paths for the designated airport along with a table that identifies a most probable terminal area and entry node for use by the aircraft at the designated airport.
