Abstract:

A method based on KF-EKF jointed algorithm is proposed to identify motion model parameters for 4D trajectory prediction. On the basis of isometric track flight model, KF-EKF jointed algorithm is employed to identify the ground speed of aircraft, then the arriving time of aircraft爷s scheduled position is calculated. Latitude and longitude of aircraft are taken as observed variables and are updated respectively. Simulation result shows that it could reduce complexity of the computation and accurately predict the short-term flight track of constant speed cruise phase.

Key words: Kalman filter, extended Kalman filter, parameter identification, isometric track, 4D trajectory prediction
