V-STAR: VectorNet-Augmented Spatio-Temporal Attention and Reasoning for Procedure-Aware Aircraft Trajectory Prediction

Published in Under review at Transportation Research Part C, 2026

Representative figure for this publication
B-STAR versus V-STAR predictions with uncertainty ellipses and procedure attention across test scenarios.

Augments spatio-temporal attention with vectorized procedure maps so that trajectory predictions respect published terminal-area procedures.
