DESCENT: Directed Edge Scene Encoding for Airport Surface Movement Prediction

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 26, 2026 · UTC

Advanced automation is a key technology for enhancing the safety of ground operations amidst the increasing density of commercial air traffic. While motion forecasting is a well-studied task in autonomous driving, its application to airport surface movements remains underexplored. To enable efficient and accurate prediction in this domain, we propose DESCENT, a transformer-based architecture designed to handle heterogeneous dynamics and strict topological constraints. Our approach features a Potential Reachable Set (PRS) context sampling mechanism that adaptively collects airfield environment
