System and method to display airport moving map and taxi routing guidance content for commonly used taxi route
A system may include a display and a processor communicatively coupled to the display. The processor may be configured to: output, to the display, a view of an airport moving map (AMM); receive aircraft state data and airport surface data; at least based on the current position of the aircraft and at least one factor, obtain commonly used taxi route data from a data structure, the data structure including taxi route data, the taxi route data including information of commonly used taxi routes for the airport, wherein the commonly used taxi route data includes information of a commonly used taxi route for the aircraft on the airport surface; based at least on the commonly used taxi route data, the aircraft state data, and the airport surface data, generate taxi routing guidance content; and output, to the display, the taxi routing guidance content.
1. A system, comprising:
at least one display;
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one display, the at least one processor configured to:
output, to the at least one display, a view of an airport moving map (AMM), the AMM depicting a location of an aircraft on an airport surface, wherein the AMM has a range of below 2 nautical miles (NM);
receive aircraft state data and airport surface data, wherein the airport surface data includes information of the airport surface, wherein the aircraft state data includes a current position of the aircraft, wherein the airport surface data further includes information of nodes identifying a location and other characteristics of navigable airport surface features and edges providing information on how nodes are interconnected from a navigation standpoint;
at least based on the current position of the aircraft and at least one factor, obtain commonly used taxi route data from a data structure, the at least one factor including at least one of an airline associated with the aircraft, a size of the aircraft, a weight of the aircraft, a category of the aircraft, a time of day that the aircraft is operating, or airport traffic, the data structure including taxi route data, the taxi route data including information of commonly used taxi routes for the airport, wherein the data structure has fields containing data associated with the commonly used taxi routes, wherein the fields for the commonly used taxi routes include information of at least one of possible airlines, sizes of possible aircraft, weights of possible aircraft, categories of possible aircraft, times of day that the possible aircraft operate, or possible airport traffic, wherein the commonly used taxi route data includes information of a commonly used taxi route for the aircraft on the airport surface;
based at least on the commonly used taxi route data, the aircraft state data, and the airport surface data, generate taxi routing guidance content, wherein the taxi routing guidance content includes at least one of graphical or audio content to be presented to a flight crew to guide the aircraft along the commonly used taxi route; and
output, to the at least one display, the taxi routing guidance content; and
at least one computing device located offboard of the aircraft, each of the at least one computing device comprising one or more processors and at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the at least one computing device is configured to:
based at least on the at least one factor including the at least one of the airline associated with the aircraft, the size of the aircraft, the weight of the aircraft, the category of the aircraft, the time of day that the aircraft is operating, or the airport traffic, create the data structure by using at least one of artificial intelligence, neural network, or machine learning operations on a collection of data of multiple aircraft using the airport; and
as more of the multiple aircraft use the airport and take specific taxi routes, learn a probable taxi route to get to an intended destination, wherein the commonly used taxi route is the probable taxi route;
wherein the at least one display is configured to:
present the view of the AMM; and
present the taxi routing guidance content.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the aircraft state data further includes a ground speed and a direction.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the commonly used taxi route is a most commonly used taxi route.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one factor further includes the airline associated with the aircraft, the size of the aircraft, the weight of the aircraft, the category of the aircraft, the time of day that the aircraft is operating, and the airport traffic, wherein the fields for the commonly used taxi routes further include information of the possible airlines, the sizes of possible aircraft, the weights of possible aircraft, the categories of possible aircraft, the times of day that the possible aircraft operate, and the possible airport traffic.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one factor further includes the airline associated with the aircraft.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one factor further includes the size of the aircraft.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one factor further includes the weight of the aircraft.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one factor further includes the category of the aircraft.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one factor further includes the time of day that the aircraft is operating.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one factor further includes the airport traffic.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data structure is stored in one or more of the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium offboard of the aircraft.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the probable taxi route is the most probable taxi route.
