Abstract In air traffic control communications (ATCC), misunderstandings between pilots and controllers could result in fatal aviation accidents. Fortunately, advanced automatic speech recognition technology has emerged as a promising means of preventing miscommunications and enhancing aviation safety. However, most existing speech recognition methods merely incorporate external language models on the decoder side, leading to insufficient semantic alignment between speech and text modalities during the encoding phase. Furthermore, it is challenging to model acoustic context dependencies over long distances due to the longer speech sequences than text, especially for the extended ATCC data. To address these issues, we propose a speech-text multimodal… More >

Abstract

This study aims to address the deviation in downstream tasks caused by inaccurate recognition results when applying Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology in the Air Traffic Control (ATC) field. This paper presents a novel cascaded model architecture, namely Conformer-CTC/Attention-T5 (CCAT), to build a highly accurate and robust ATC speech recognition model. To tackle the challenges posed by noise and fast speech rate in ATC, the Conformer model is employed to extract robust and discriminative speech representations from raw waveforms. On the decoding side, the Attention mechanism is integrated to facilitate precise alignment between input features and output characters. The Text-To-Text… More >

Abstract The flight lateral conflict model which is based on human subjective factors has always been a research hotspot for training flight. In order to effectively evaluate the safety interval and lateral collision risk in training airspace, in this paper, pilot subjective factors were modeled. It was studied in lateral conflict risk of low altitude complex flight by flight performance shaping factor. By analyzing flight data of a flight training institution in China, it is pointed that the lateral collision risk in specific training airspace meets the requirement of safety target level of international civil aviation organization. The collision risk of… More >

Abstract The lateral conflict risk assessment of low-altitude training airspace strategic planning, which is based on the TSE errors has always been a difficult task for training flight research. In order to effectively evaluate the safety interval and lateral collision risk in training airspace, in this paper, TSE error performance using a weakly supervised learning method was modelled. First, the lateral probability density function of TSE is given by using a multidimensional random variable covariance matrix, and the risk model of a training flight lateral collision based on TSE error is established. The lateral conflict risk in specific training airspace is… More >
