在现代空中交通管理中,生成合成飞行轨迹成为应对数据稀缺、保护敏感信息和支持大规模分析的有前景方案。本文提出一种新方法,通过改进时间感知向量量化变分自编码器(TimeVQVAE),利用时间-频率域处理、向量量化和基于变压器的先验,捕捉飞行数据中的全局与局部动态。通过离散化潜在空间并整合变压器先验,模型学习长程时空依赖性,并保持完整飞行路径的一致性。我们使用一系列质量、统计和分布度量,以及在开源空管模拟器中的可飞行性评估对改进后的TimeVQVAE进行测试。结果表明,TimeVQVAE优于时序卷积变分自编码器基线,生成的合成轨迹在空间准确性、时间一致性和统计特性方面均与真实飞行数据高度相似。此外,模拟器评估显示,大多数生成轨迹具有操作可行性,尽管偶有异常点提示可能需要加入领域特定约束。总体而言,研究强调了多尺度表征学习对捕捉复杂飞行行为的重要性,并展示了TimeVQVAE在为下游任务如模型训练、空域设计和空中交通预测生成代表性合成轨迹方面的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In modern air traffic management, generating synthetic flight trajectories has emerged as a promising solution for addressing data scarcity, protecting sensitive information, and supporting large-scale analyses. In this paper, we propose a novel method for trajectory synthesis by adapting the Time-Based Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder (TimeVQVAE). Our approach leverages time-frequency domain processing, vector quantization, and transformer-based priors to capture both global and local dynamics in flight data. By discretizing the latent space and integrating transformer priors, the model learns long-range spatiotemporal dependencies and preserves coherence across entire flight paths. We evaluate the adapted TimeVQVAE using an extensive suite of quality, statistical, and distributional metrics, as well as a flyability assessment conducted in an open-source air traffic simulator. Results indicate that TimeVQVAE outperforms a temporal convolutional VAE baseline, generating synthetic trajectories that mirror real flight data in terms of spatial accuracy, temporal consistency, and statistical properties. Furthermore, the simulator-based assessment shows that most generated trajectories maintain operational feasibility, although occasional outliers underscore the potential need for additional domain-specific constraints. Overall, our findings underscore the importance of multi-scale representation learning for capturing complex flight behaviors and demonstrate the promise of TimeVQVAE in producing representative synthetic trajectories for downstream tasks such as model training, airspace design, and air traffic forecasting.
