    摘要: The invention discloses a method to support the trajectory planning considering both the flight trajectory and the visual images (VI) from air traffic control (ATC) system for air traffic controllers (ATCOs) (VI from ATC system for ATCOs), comprising the following steps: Step 1: acquire the VI and the flight trajectory to serve as the method inputs, and extract features of the VI and the relative position of the aircraft; Step 2: construct reinforcement learning-based methods to support the decision-making for flight path planning and conduct the training procedures of the models in the proposed method; Step 3: based on the optimized reinforcement learning-based methods, predict the required operation sequence to guide the flight to the target waypoint. The method of the invention can support the flight path planning for air traffic operation in a safe and efficient manner and is able to reduce the workload of air traffic controllers.
