FAA expands AI advice to manage air traffic congestion across entire US airspace
摘要
美国联邦航空管理局已将用于向空中交通管制员提供建议的AI工具扩展至全国空域系统。该局表示，自9月21日在华盛顿特区空域启用耗资8.75亿美元的SMART系统以来，已帮助180架次航班改道，平均每架次节省10分钟和近80加仑燃油，并希望在全国22个中心推广以减少延误和油耗。航空公司高管支持推广，但代表管制员的工会称未参与该系统的设计与测试。
The US government has expanded the use of an AI tool for advising air traffic controllers to assist in managing air traffic across the entire national airspace system. Airline executives have voiced support for the rollout, but the US labor union representing air traffic controllers has said it was not involved in designing or testing the AI-driven system.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says the $875 million SMART system has helped reroute 180 flights since being implemented in airspace over Washington, DC, on September 21. The agency claims that this saved an average of 10 minutes per flight and almost 80 gallons of fuel per flight—and it is apparently hoping such results can be replicated nationwide through the expanded deployment.
“After a successful initial rollout to the National Capital Region in September, the FAA will now use SMART in the airspace of all 22 centers across the country to reduce delays, reduce fuel consumption and improve the travel experience for the flying public,” according to the agency statement posted on November 10.
