用迁移学习让飞行轨迹生成模型少数据也能用,适合数据少的机场。
Learning to Land Anywhere: Transferable Generative Models for Aircraft Trajectories
- 用扩散模型和流匹配模型做迁移学习,从数据多的机场学知识迁移到数据少的机场。
- 仅需目标机场5%数据就达到可比性能,20%时基本达标,远超从零训练。
- 适合缺乏历史数据的中小型机场,可生成真实飞行轨迹用于模拟与分析。
获取飞行轨迹数据是开发与验证空中交通管理(ATM)方案的关键,但许多次要和区域机场面临严重数据匮乏,限制了机器学习方法的应用及大规模仿真或“假如”分析的能力。本文研究了是否可通过迁移学习,将基于数据丰富机场训练的生成模型高效适配到数据稀缺机场。我们针对航空领域调整了先进的扩散模型与流匹配架构,并在苏黎世(源域)和都柏林(目标域)的降落轨迹数据集间评估其可迁移性。模型在苏黎世预训练后,在都柏林使用0%至100%本地数据进行微调。结果表明,扩散模型仅需5%的都柏林数据即可达到竞争性表现,约20%时达到基线水平,且在各项指标和视觉检查中持续优于从零训练的模型。潜在流匹配与潜在扩散模型也受益于预训练,但收益更不稳定;而流匹配模型泛化能力较弱。尽管难以捕捉罕见轨迹模式,这些发现证明迁移学习可显著降低航空轨迹生成的数据需求,使数据有限环境也能生成真实合成数据。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Access to trajectory data is a key requirement for developing and validating Air Traffic Management (ATM) solutions, yet many secondary and regional airports face severe data scarcity. This limits the applicability of machine learning methods and the ability to perform large-scale simulations or "what-if" analyses. In this paper, we investigate whether generative models trained on data-rich airports can be efficiently adapted to data-scarce airports using transfer learning. We adapt state-of-the-art diffusion- and flow-matching-based architectures to the aviation domain and evaluate their transferability between Zurich (source) and Dublin (target) landing trajectory datasets. Models are pretrained on Zurich and fine-tuned on Dublin with varying amounts of local data, ranging from 0% to 100%. Results show that diffusion-based models achieve competitive performance with as little as 5% of the Dublin data and reach baseline-level performance around 20%, consistently outperforming models trained from scratch across metrics and visual inspections. Latent flow matching and latent diffusion models also benefit from pretraining, though with more variable gains, while flow matching models show weaker generalization. Despite challenges in capturing rare trajectory patterns, these findings demonstrate the potential of transfer learning to substantially reduce data requirements for trajectory generation in ATM, enabling realistic synthetic data generation even in environments with limited historical records.
