Abstract: It is the current mode of air traffic management that flight crews fly according to the instructions from air traffic controllers. With the increase of the number of flights, in order to effectively improve the efficiency of air traffic operation and reduce the workload of controllers, the development of intelligent air traffic management based on track prediction has become a new topic. Aiming at the research of flight track prediction technology, a two-stage flight track prediction method is put forward innovatively in this paper, which includes classification and then prediction. Firstly, K-means is used to cluster and classify the flight track based on the data of a certain airport. Next, Adam-LSTM deep learning model is constructed for each type of approach track, and high quality track prediction is realized. The results show that, compared with the traditional prediction model, the track prediction effect is greatly improved. The research results can provide technical support for intelligent air traffic management and abnormal track recognition.

Key words: air traffic, working load, track prediction, deep learning
