TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of airport operation management, and in particular to an airport aircraft taxiing efficiency review analysis method and system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The airport ground operation efficiency is a key link affecting the punctuality rate and operation safety of flights. The ground taxiing time of an aircraft is affected by multi-dimensional dynamic factors such as stand allocation, taxiing route, runway usage mode, temporary construction, etc. Currently, the analysis of this problem has the following significant bottlenecks in the technical aspect:
[0003] Firstly, the technical obstacle of multi-source heterogeneous data fusion. Flight plans, stand allocation, high-precision radar trajectories, and real-time announcements are derived from independent systems, and their data formats, time and space references, and update frequencies are different, resulting in a serious "data island" phenomenon. There is a lack of effective technical means to perform high-precision time and space alignment, cleaning, and correlation on these data, making it difficult to build a unified time and space data base for in-depth analysis.
[0004] Secondly, the limitations of analysis models and calculation methods. Existing monitoring systems mostly focus on real-time status display and simple statistics, and lack a unified computable model that can represent the complex physical configuration and dynamic operation rules of the airport. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately restore and compare historical operation trajectories, and even more difficult to automatically calculate the theoretical optimal path and perform difference quantitative analysis through algorithms, resulting in root cause tracing remaining at the surface level of statistics and failing to locate specific spatial nodes and logical causes.
[0005] Thirdly, the lack of intelligent attribution and decision support tools. Current analysis results are mostly post-event reports, and data, models, and visual geographic information systems are not deeply integrated, especially lacking decision support capabilities based on simulation and deduction. Operation management personnel cannot quickly and intuitively assess the potential impact of different scheduling strategies on taxiing efficiency, and the decision-making process relies on experience, lacking quantitative, dynamic, and interactive technical assistance tools.
[0006] Therefore, the present field urgently needs to break through the existing technical framework and provide a technical solution that can systematically solve multi-source data fusion, build a computable analysis model, and realize automated attribution and strategy simulation, in order to improve the accuracy, depth, and intelligence level of airport ground operation analysis.

[0062] REFERENCE Figure 1 and Figure 2 The airport aircraft taxiing efficiency review analysis method proposed by the present application includes the following steps:
[0063] S1, performing spatio-temporal alignment processing on flight plan data, gate allocation data, field monitoring radar data and airport announcement data from the same target airport to generate a fusion spatio-temporal database.
[0064] In the present embodiment, step S1 specifically includes: acquiring heterogeneous operation data from a flight plan data source, a gate allocation data source, a field monitoring radar data source and an airport announcement data source; uniformly converting all time stamps in the heterogeneous operation data into a standard coordinated universal time (UTC) time format; uniformly projecting aircraft trajectory coordinates in the field monitoring radar data source to an electronic airport chart through a coordinate conversion algorithm; and performing spatio-temporal alignment processing on the flight plan data, the gate allocation data, the field monitoring radar data and the airport announcement data from the same target airport to generate a fusion spatio-temporal database. Figure OneThe local plane coordinate system; based on the aircraft call sign and the time window, the trajectory data with completed space-time alignment is associated and matched with the corresponding flight plan and stand allocation data; the textual construction area description in the airport announcement data source is converted into polygon geographic fence data in the local plane coordinate system; the data after association and conversion is integrated with the pre-recorded airport basic geographic information data and structured operation constraint data, stored in accordance with the preset structured format, and a fusion space-time database is generated; wherein the airport basic geographic information data constitutes the airport configuration data basis, the structured operation constraint data and the airport announcement data constitute the operation constraint data basis, and the flight plan, stand allocation and trajectory data after association and matching constitute the historical taxiing analysis data basis.
[0065] It should be noted that the system accesses multiple operation data sources of the target airport through a data interface:
[0066] Flight plan and stand allocation data: obtained from the airport operation database (AODB), containing flight number, planned / actual take-off and landing time, allocated stand, aircraft type, etc.
[0067] Radar trajectory data of field monitoring: obtained from the multilateration system, recording the call sign, latitude, longitude, height, speed and time stamp accurate to milliseconds of the aircraft at a frequency of 1 per second.
[0068] Airport announcement data: obtained from the airport information management system, containing text information such as construction announcement and runway operation mode switching notice.
[0069] Specifically, the space-time alignment process is as follows:
[0070] Time alignment: convert the time stamps of all data sources into Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to eliminate time deviations caused by time zone or system clock differences.
[0071] Spatial alignment: convert the WGS84 geographic coordinates of radar trajectories to the local independent coordinate system of the target airport through Gauss-Kruger projection algorithm. This coordinate system is consistent with the airport digital drawing reference, ensuring accurate comparison of all spatial element positions.
[0072] Based on the aircraft call sign and the accurate time window, the radar trajectory point sequence is automatically associated and matched with the corresponding flight record and stand allocation information to form a "flight stand continuous trajectory" data chain. At the same time, the text format construction announcement, such as "B taxiway middle section, 10:00-16:00 closed", is parsed and converted into a polygon geographic fence object in this local coordinate system and its effective time attribute.
[0073] The data that has been aligned, associated and converted is integrated with pre-recorded target airport basic geographic information data (including the precise geometry and topological relationship of all taxiways, stands and runways) and structured operation constraint data (such as the stand-aircraft matching table and fixed taxiway routing table), and is stored in a relational database or a spatio-temporal database according to a predefined Schema to form a unified fusion spatio-temporal database. The database provides a unique and consistent data source for all subsequent analysis steps.
[0074] S2, based on the fusion spatio-temporal database, a weighted directed graph model is constructed, which takes the airport physical location as a node, takes the slidable path between nodes as an edge, and the weight parameter of the edge is at least determined by the taxi distance, the average taxi time based on historical taxi data statistics and the real-time operation constraint state, as an airport operation graph for taxi path analysis and optimization.
[0075] In the embodiment, step S2 specifically comprises:
[0076] The airport configuration data basis and the operation constraint data basis are read from the fusion spatio-temporal database.
[0077] Based on the airport configuration data basis, the airport physical elements are abstracted as nodes of the airport operation graph, and the nodes at least include stand nodes, taxiway nodes, runway entrance nodes and construction area nodes.
[0078] Based on the operation constraint data basis, the physical connection and the taxi permission relationship between the nodes are abstracted as edges of the airport operation graph, and the edges at least include taxiway segment edges and stand taxi-in and taxi-out edges.
[0079] A weight parameter is configured for each edge, and the weight parameter is at least determined by the taxi distance, the average taxi time based on the historical taxi analysis data basis statistics and the real-time operation constraint state, so as to complete the construction of the weighted directed graph model.
[0080] Specifically, to complete the construction of the weighted directed graph model, the system configures a comprehensive and dynamically updated weight parameter for each edge in the airport operation graph, which directly determines the passage cost calculation in the subsequent path search algorithm. The configuration of the weight parameter is not static assignment, but is dynamically generated through the following technical process:
[0081] The taxi distance cost component: based on the precise coordinates stored in the airport basic geographic information data, the geometric length (unit: meter) of the physical taxi path represented by each edge is calculated. The length is divided by a reference taxi speed (for example, a typical taxi speed of 25 knots obtained according to the airport regulations or historical data statistics), and is converted into a basic time cost This part reflects the basic time required to pass through the segment under ideal conditions without obstacles and conflicts.
[0082] Historical average taxi time component: The system periodically extracts data from the historical taxi analysis data base. For each edge, the system queries the records of all actual taxi trajectories passing through the edge in the recent period (e.g. past 24 hours or past one week), and calculates the average additional waiting or delay time of these flights on the edge (or its associated node) . This statistic can be further divided by different time periods (e.g. peak / off-peak), different runway operation modes, to obtain more representative historical cost. This component quantifies the typical time loss of the road segment due to regular traffic patterns, structural bottlenecks, etc.
[0083] Real-time operation constraint state penalty component: The system monitors the real-time operation constraint data base and integrates dynamic information in the spatio-temporal database. If a node or area associated with an edge is marked as a specific constraint state at the current time (e.g. the associated construction area node is in the “active” state, causing the edge to be closed or limited; or according to real-time traffic management, the edge is subjected to flow control), a significant, numerical time penalty value is applied to the edge . This penalty value can be pre-defined or dynamically calculated according to the severity of the constraint, such as a construction closure that may result in a very long detour, and the penalty value can be set to hundreds or even thousands of seconds.
[0084] Finally, the comprehensive weight W of each edge at time t is calculated by a weighted summation model of the above components. The calculation formula is specifically:
[0085] ;
[0086] wherein, are the harmonic coefficients of the corresponding components, used to balance the influence degree of different components, and their values can be calibrated according to the characteristics of airport operation; is the average additional waiting or delay time; is the basic time cost; is the time penalty value.
[0087] It should be noted that the system recalculates and updates the weights of all edges at a set period (e.g. every minute) when constructing the graph, so as to ensure that the weighted directed graph model can dynamically and truly reflect the real-time traffic cost of the airport ground.
[0088] S3, based on the integrated spatio-temporal database, identify taxi time abnormal flights, and map the actual trajectory data of abnormal flights to the airport operation graph through a map matching algorithm based on a hidden Markov model, to generate an actual taxi path sequence.
[0089] In this embodiment, step S3 specifically comprises: extracting actual taxiing time of each flight in the target time period from the historical taxiing analysis data base of the spatio-temporal database, combining the aircraft model and the runway operation mode, and using a statistical model based on a sliding window and a standard deviation threshold to identify flights with taxiing time exceeding the adaptive threshold, and marking the flights as taxiing time abnormal flights; for each taxiing time abnormal flight, extracting a continuous time-position point sequence as an actual trajectory from the corresponding field monitoring radar trajectory data; taking the actual trajectory as an observation sequence and taking the edges of the airport operation graph as hidden states, calling a map matching algorithm based on a hidden Markov model, calculating the most possible edge sequence corresponding to the actual trajectory, and outputting the edge sequence as an actual taxiing path sequence.
[0090] Specifically, the abnormal flight identification process comprises:
[0091] From the historical taxiing analysis data base of the spatio-temporal database, the measured taxiing time of all inbound / outbound flights in the past 24 hours in the "runway to stand" or "stand to runway" stage is extracted. For the same aircraft model and the same runway operation mode, the sliding window statistical method is used to calculate the mean value and the standard deviation of the taxiing time. Flights with taxiing time exceeding are automatically marked as taxiing time abnormal flights.
[0092] Specifically, the trajectory map matching process comprises:
[0093] For the flight CA1234 marked as abnormal, a dense trajectory point sequence is extracted from the associated radar data. A map matching algorithm based on a hidden Markov model (HMM) is used to match the continuous trajectory point sequence to the edges of the discrete airport operation graph. Specifically, each trajectory point is taken as an observation value and the edges of the graph are taken as hidden states. By calculating the probability of the observation points falling on each edge (emission probability) and the possibility of the transition between edges (transition probability), the most possible edge sequence is solved by using the Viterbi algorithm. The edge sequence is the actual taxiing path sequence, for example, [E101, E205, E308, E412].
[0094] S4, in the airport operation graph, the start and end nodes of the actual taxiing path sequence are taken as constraints, and the corresponding theoretical optimal taxiing path sequence is calculated by a graph search algorithm.
[0095] In this embodiment, step S4 specifically comprises: taking the start node and the end node of the actual taxiing path sequence as the start node and the target node of the path search, respectively; in the airport operation graph, based on the weight parameters of each edge, the edge sequence with the minimum cumulative weight from the start node to the target node is calculated by a graph search algorithm, and the edge sequence is output as the theoretical optimal taxiing path sequence.
[0096] Specifically, the start and end nodes of the obtained actual taxiing path sequence are taken as the start point and target of path planning. On the constructed airport operation graph, the dynamic weight of each edge is taken as the passing cost, and A Shortest path search algorithm. The algorithm combines the actual traveled cost (cumulative weight from the start point to the current node) and the heuristic estimated cost (straight-line distance from the current node to the target estimated time), and efficiently searches for the edge sequence with the minimum cumulative weight from the start point to the target, i.e., the theoretical optimal taxiing path sequence, such as [E101, E203, E310, E412].
[0097] S5, compare the actual taxiing path sequence with the theoretical optimal taxiing path sequence to locate the path deviation node, and perform delay attribution analysis according to the node attributes and edge attributes associated with the path deviation node in the airport operation graph to obtain a delay attribution analysis result.
[0098] Specifically, the delay attribution analysis result includes at least one of the following information: cause classification leading to the delay, identification of the path deviation node, and quantitative contribution evaluation of each cause to the total delay time.
[0099] In this embodiment, step S5 specifically includes: sequentially comparing the edge sequence in the theoretical optimal taxiing path sequence with the edge sequence in the actual taxiing path sequence, extracting edges that exist in the actual taxiing path sequence but do not exist in the theoretical optimal taxiing path sequence or edges that are inconsistent in sequence, and defining the nodes connected by these edges as path deviation nodes; in the airport operation graph, traversing the nodes directly connected to the path deviation nodes and their associated edges, respectively reading and analyzing the attribute information of the nodes and the attribute information of the associated edges; wherein the attribute information of the nodes at least includes node type, construction state marker, and associated gate number; the attribute information of the associated edges at least includes taxiing constraint condition and historical average waiting time; based on the path deviation node, the attribute information of the nodes, and the attribute information of the associated edges, the cause of the deviation is determined to obtain a delay attribution analysis result containing the cause.
[0100] Specifically, determining the cause of the deviation specifically includes:
[0101] If the path deviation node is a construction area node, or the attribute information of the associated edge indicates that it is in a construction closed state, it is determined that the cause is a construction area detour cause;
[0102] If the path deviation node is a gate node, and there is an edge in the actual taxiing path sequence that does not exist in the theoretical optimal taxiing path sequence and goes back and forth between different terminal areas or distant gate groups, it is determined that the cause is a gate allocation conflict cause;
[0103] If the historical average waiting time of the path deviation node associated edge exceeds the set threshold, the cause is determined to be a taxi conflict waiting cause.
[0104] Specifically, the actual path sequence [E101, E205, E308, E412] is compared with the theoretical optimal path sequence [E101, E203, E310, E412] edge by edge. It is found that the actual path selects E205 instead of E203 after the second node, resulting in completely different subsequent paths. Node Nx (the starting node of E205) is located as the key path deviation node.
[0105] Further, in the airport operation graph, the attributes of the deviation node Nx and its directly associated nodes and edges are queried. It is found that the node Nx is associated with a construction announcement edge pointing to the construction node CZ1, and the state of CZ1 is “active” during the CA1234 taxi period. The attributes of edge E203 are queried, and its “traffic state” is marked as “closed” during the same period. The attributes of edge E205 are queried, and its “historical average waiting time” is displayed as 120 seconds.
[0106] Specifically, the system automatically concludes according to the preset causal inference logic:
[0107] The main cause (construction detour): due to the closure of E203 in the optimal path due to construction, the aircraft is forced to turn to E205 at Nx.
[0108] The secondary cause (node congestion): the detour path E205 itself has a high historical waiting time.
[0109] The system generates a structured delay cause analysis result, including cause classification, associated node / edge identification, and estimates that construction detour causes about 180 seconds of additional taxi, node congestion causes about 120 seconds of waiting, and quantifies the contribution degree of each factor.
[0110] S6, visualizing and simulating the actual taxi path sequence, the theoretical optimal taxi path sequence, and the delay cause analysis result.
[0111] In the embodiment, step S6 specifically comprises: calling a visualization engine, loading a two-dimensional or three-dimensional electronic map corresponding to the airport operation graph as a base map; superimposedly displaying the actual taxi path sequence in a first visual style and the theoretical optimal taxi path sequence in a second visual style on the base map; according to the delay attribution analysis result, highlighting and marking the path deviation node and its related construction area, conflict point or non-optimal stand in a third visual style on the base map; providing an interactive interface to receive a modification instruction for at least one of the runway usage mode, the construction area state or the stand allocation scheme; based on the modified operation parameter, combining the airport operation graph and the discrete event simulation engine to deduce a new theoretical taxi path and an estimated taxi time; dynamically updating the visualization display content to reflect the deduction result and generating an analysis report containing a comparison of key indicators and optimization suggestions.
[0112] Specifically, the visualization display process comprises: the system calling a WebGL engine, drawing the actual taxi path with a red highlight line, the theoretical optimal path with a green dashed line, and the deviation node Nx and the construction area CZ1 with a flashing icon on the three-dimensional airport electronic map. The side information panel lists the taxi time comparison of CA1234 flight, the attribution analysis result and the quantitative data in detail. Among them, the user can modify the operation parameters in the interface. For example, manually set the state of the construction node CZ1 from "activated" to "inactivated". The system immediately re-runs the path search and time estimation based on the modified parameters (at this time, the E203 edge weight returns to normal). The simulation result shows that if the construction does not occur, CA1234 adopts the optimal path, and the estimated taxi time can be reduced by about 300 seconds. The interface is dynamically updated, and an analysis report is automatically generated, summarizing the root cause of the problem.
[0113] In the embodiment, it also comprises:
[0114] S7, based on the delay attribution analysis result and the simulation deduction result, generating a set of operation optimization instructions for the target airport; wherein the operation optimization instruction set comprises at least one of the following: stand re-allocation suggestion instruction, taxi route adjustment suggestion instruction, construction period optimization suggestion instruction.
[0115] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application proposes an airport aircraft taxi efficiency review analysis system, comprising:

[0118] An abnormality detection and processing module is configured to identify abnormal flight based on the fusion spatio-temporal database, and map actual trajectory data of the abnormal flight to the airport operation graph through a map matching algorithm based on a hidden Markov model to generate an actual slidable path sequence.
