    Intelligent Flight Procedure Design: A Reinforcement Learning Approach with Pareto-Based Multi-Objective Optimization

    by Yunyang Huang, Yanxin Zhang, Yandong Zhu, Zhuo Zhang, Longtao Zhu, Hongyu Yang, Yulong Ji

    Current flight procedure design primarily relies on expert experience, lacking a systematic approach to comprehensively balance safety, route simplification, and environmental impact. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a reinforcement-learning-based method that leverages carefully crafted reward engineering to achieve an optimized flight procedure design, effectively considering safety, route simplicity, and environmental friendliness. To further enhance performance by tackling the low sampling efficiency in the replay buffer, we introduce a multi-objective sampling strategy based on the Pareto frontier, integrated with the soft actor–critic (SAC) algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method generates executable flight procedures in the BlueSky open-source flight simulator, successfully balancing these three conflicting objectives, while achieving a 28.6% increase in convergence speed and a 4% improvement in comprehensive performance across safety, route simplification, and environmental impact compared to the baseline algorithm. This study offers an efficient and validated solution for the intelligent design of flight procedures.
