Project description
Using synthetic datasets to advance AI in aviation
AI applications in air traffic management (ATM) face significant challenges, including lack of available real-world data (particularly safety-related) and struggle with adapting to new, unseen environments. These limitations impede the development and scalability of AI tools in the aviation sector. The EU-funded SynthAIR project aims to leverage AI techniques to generate synthetic data in the context of ATM. The core concept relies on the universal time-series generator (UTG), a model trained on several different time series data and being able to produce synthetic datasets for new scenarios, such as data for an unmonitored airport. The proposed method requires less expertise and enhances generalisation. The UTG could also be used to define a forecaster, predicting outcomes in unexplored settings without further training.
Objective
The main objective of SynthAIR is to explore and define AI-based methods for synthetic data generation in the domain of ATM system due to the limitation of AI-based tools development by the lack of enough data available (e.g. safety-related data) and the problem of generalization of those AI-based models. We want to explore data-driven methods for synthetic data generation, since they require 1) less user knowledge expertise (no need to derive the explicit model of the distribution), 2) better generalization capabilities. More in detail, inspired by recent advancement in Computer vision and Language Technology, we propose the concept of Universal Time Series Generator (UTG). A UTG, is a model trained on several different time series, and able to generate a synthetic dataset representing a new dataset, simply conditioned by a compressed representation of it. In aviation domain, this generator can be trained on a certain set of data related, for example to few airports, and be used to generate synthetic data from a new airport. The same principle can be applied to define a universal time series forecaster (UTF) able to do prediction to a new environment (I.e. data from a new airport) without any new training.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
