Enhancing Automatic Speech Recognition in Air Traffic Communications: Collaboration between A*STAR and AIR Lab

In the high-stakes environment of air traffic communications, the use of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) could help reduce potential communication errors between the pilot and the Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs). Hence, the accuracy of the ASR is important for enabling safety and maintaining efficiency through enabling clear and precise communication of pilot and air traffic controller commands to prevent miscommunication, which can lead to critical errors in flight paths and aircraft positioning.
