Researchers have developed a two-stage AI system to predict aircraft taxiing decisions at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The system uses historical flight data, aircraft characteristics, and weather to forecast which runway exit an aircraft will take and whether it will cross a departure runway. Machine learning models like XGBoost and LightGBM achieved high accuracy in predicting exit choices, though predicting runway crossing maneuvers proved more challenging. AI
