Abstract

The development of a low-cost aircraft surveillance system based on Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) has attracted significant attention and there are many applications. The ADS-B signals have many data about the aircraft and we are particularly interested in the idea of utilizing this data to develop flight predictions. In this paper, we present an ML-based system for predicting three-dimensional flight location coordinates by using route classification from ADS-B. The evaluation results show that our proposed system can predict three-dimensional flight coordinates, but the accuracy is not high because of the GPS fluctuations.
