Abstract

Traditional behavior modeling methods rely on the knowledge representation derived from the induction and abstraction of subject matter experts, leading to the high barrier and long modeling period. To tackle this problem, we focus on a new behavior modeling approach, which extracts behavior knowledge from behavior data using recurrent neural network (RNN). A case study, take-off behavior modeling using long short-term memory (LSTM) network, was carried out in three phases: the data recording phase, the offline model training phase and the online model execution phase. A three-layer neural network was constructed to learn the pattern of take-off manipulations. The resulting take-off behavior model performed well to ‘pilot’ an airplane in the real-time test.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Rotation speed is the speed at which the pilot begins to apply control inputs to cause the aircraft nose to pitch up, after which it will leave the ground [17].
