ASTRA uses autonomous AI sim-pilots for scalable air traffic control training; reduces dependency on human role-players while maintaining realistic scenario complexity.

Synthesis

ASTRA: A Scalable Next-Generation ATCO Training Simulator with Autonomous Simpilots investigates astra uses autonomous ai sim-pilots for scalable air traffic control training; reduces dependency on human role-players while maintaining realistic scenario complexity. This work connects to existing research on intelligent-tutoring-systems by demonstrating that Abstract:Air Traffic Control Operators (ATCOs) are vital in ensuring the safe, orderly, and efficient flow of air traffic, yet training capacity is constrained by reliance on specialized human trainers known as simpilots, who must role-play both pilots and ATCOs in a simulated airspace. Existing aut....
