肖恩·达菲抨击民主党人对联邦航空局新型人工智能飞行工具的批评
美国运输部长肖恩·达菲抨击民主党众议员唐·拜尔,称其将联邦航空局的这款新型人工智能工具描述为未经证实的系统。达菲在与布莱恩·基尔米德共同主持的《福克斯与朋友们》节目中为这款预测技术辩护,称相关批评完全是愚蠢之举。他解释称,该工具通过协调航班计划来预防航班延误,并在地面停靠之外安全管控美国领空。

独家报道:据美国交通部向福克斯新闻数字平台独家提供的最新数据,特朗普政府推出的这款新型人工智能空中交通管理工具已成功调整近180架次航班的航线,为约2.4万名乘客避开了拥堵,平均缩短飞行时间10分钟以上。
美国联邦航空局(FAA)的”空域、航线与轨迹战略管理系统”(简称SMART系统)已投入运行近6周,帮助空中交通管制员识别更省油的航线,并预判潜在的飞行扰动。
据美国交通部称,这项技术还将平均每次飞行的燃油节省了近80加仑,初步展现了特朗普政府希望减少航班延误与取消的成效。

“在特朗普总统的领导下,我们正在取得历史性进展,以振兴空中交通管制,并改善数百万美国乘客的出行体验,”美国运输部长肖恩·达菲在向福克斯新闻数字平台提供的一份声明中表示。
达菲还表示,随着该项目的扩展,这项技术将带来更广泛的益处。
“SMART系统将大幅减少令人烦恼的航班延误,缓解空中交通管制员的工作压力,并降低出行成本。”
10月就有一个例子,当时一架搭载147名乘客从罗纳德·里根华盛顿国家机场飞往奥兰多国际机场的航班,在SMART系统推荐了一条替代航线后避开了预期拥堵。

这趟航班原计划在其原定航线预计拥堵的时段起飞。美国交通部表示,SMART系统识别出一条更偏西的航线,空中交通管制员予以采纳,使航程缩短了11海里,节省了6分钟飞行时间。

这项技术将天气模式、飞行路径、交通流量和管制员人力配置指标等200个数据流整合到一个中央平台中。
其人工智能支持的引擎帮助航空专家预判可能出现拥堵的位置,并在拥堵形成前推荐更高效的航线。
该技术还旨在改进联邦航空局对强对流天气的管理,而强对流天气一直是美国航空旅客出行扰动的一个主要原因。

根据美国交通部的一份情况说明书,该机构目前的做法是在受风暴影响的空域划定大面积矩形区域,尽管天气系统通常是不规则形状的,仍可能有安全通道可用。
SMART系统旨在提供不断变化的天气状况的清晰图景,让航空专家识别绕开风暴的航线,并确定受限空域何时可以安全重新开放。
尽管具备人工智能支持的能力,SMART系统并不会独立指挥飞机,也无法取代人类空中交通管制员。

一组航空专家分析并验证SMART系统的数据,然后向联邦航空局的空中交通管制系统指挥中心发送航班计划调整建议。这些建议随后被转发至地方空中交通管制设施,由相关官员决定是否采纳。
这项举措出台之际,美国最繁忙的机场每年处理数百万架次航班。
据美国交通部数据,美国30个最繁忙的机场每年约有650万架次航班起降。其中约30万架次航班在起飞前被调整了航线,另有360万架次航班在飞行中被调整航线、引导转向或空中等待。
联邦航空局最初在9月将SMART系统的部署范围限制在首都地区,10月开始在迈阿密、杰克逊维尔和亚特兰大的航路交通管制中心开展验证工作。
该机构计划继续测试该系统,同时推进将SMART系统扩展至全国22个空中交通管制中心的工作。

尽管早期成果涉及的美国国内航班份额相对较小,但美国交通部表示,这项技术旨在帮助航空公司运营更可预测的航班计划,并缓解空中交通管制员的压力。

对于旅客而言,特朗普政府的目标是减少航班延误、缩短飞行时间并降低因航班拥堵造成的时间损失。

EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s FAA touts new AI-powered tool helping thousands of passengers avoid flight delays
SMART system cutting flight times by more than 10 minutes

Sean Duffy slams Democrat’s criticism of FAA’s new AI flight tool
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy slams Democratic Rep. Don Beyer for calling the FAA’s new AI tool an unproven system. Duffy defends the predictive technology on ‘Fox & Friends’ with Brian Kilmeade, labeling the criticism as complete stupidity. He explains how the tool coordinates schedules to prevent flight delays and safely manage American airspace instead of keeping planes in ground stops.

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration’s new AI-supported air traffic management tool has already helped reroute nearly 180 flights carrying approximately 24,000 passengers to avoid congestion, cutting flight times by more than 10 minutes on average, according to new Department of Transportation (DOT) data shared exclusively with Fox News Digital.
The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Strategic Management of Airspace, Routes and Trajectories system, known as SMART, has been operational for nearly six weeks, helping air traffic controllers identify more fuel-efficient routes and anticipate potential disruptions.
According to DOT, the technology has also saved nearly 80 gallons of fuel per flight on average, offering an early glimpse of how the Trump administration hopes to reduce flight delays and cancellations.

“Under President Trump, we are making historic progress to revitalize air traffic control and improve the passenger experience for millions of Americans,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.
Duffy also said the technology would deliver broader benefits as the program expands.
“SMART will slash frustrating delays, reduce stress on air traffic controllers, and lower travel prices.”
One example came in October when a flight carrying 147 passengers from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to Orlando International Airport avoided expected congestion after SMART recommended an alternative route.

The flight had been scheduled to depart during a period when congestion was expected along its original path. SMART identified a route farther west, which air traffic controllers accepted, shortening the journey by 11 nautical miles and saving six minutes of flight time, according to DOT.

The technology combines 200 data streams, including weather patterns, flight paths, traffic flow and controller staffing metrics, into a centralized platform.
Its AI-supported engine helps aviation specialists anticipate where congestion could develop and recommend more efficient routes before congestion builds.
The technology is also designed to improve how the FAA manages severe weather, a source of disruptions for U.S. air travelers.

According to a DOT fact sheet, the agency’s existing approach involves blocking off large rectangular sections of airspace affected by storms, even though weather systems are often irregularly shaped, and safe corridors may remain available.
SMART is intended to provide a clearer picture of changing weather conditions, allowing aviation specialists to identify routes around storms and determine when restricted airspace can safely reopen.
Despite its AI-supported capabilities, SMART does not independently direct aircraft or replace human air traffic controllers.

A team of aviation specialists analyzes and validates SMART’s data before sending scheduling recommendations to the FAA’s Air Traffic Control System Command Center. Those recommendations are then forwarded to local air traffic control facilities, where officials decide whether to accept them.
The initiative comes as the nation’s busiest airports handle millions of flights annually.
According to DOT, approximately 6.5 million flights operate each year at the nation’s 30 busiest airports. About 300,000 receive reroutes before departure, while 3.6 million experience airborne reroutes, vectoring or holding.
The FAA initially limited SMART’s rollout to the National Capital Region in September before beginning validation efforts with air route traffic control centers in Miami, Jacksonville and Atlanta in October.
The agency plans to continue testing the system as it works toward expanding SMART to all 22 air traffic control centers nationwide.

While the early results involve a relatively small share of domestic U.S. flights, DOT says the technology is intended to help airlines operate more predictable schedules and ease pressure on air traffic controllers.

For travelers, the Trump administration’s goal is fewer delays for passengers, shorter flights and less time lost to flight congestion.
