Automated air traffic control systems and methods may include one or more sensors, such as radar sensors, that are positioned and oriented at opposite ends of a runway. The sensors may detect aerial vehicles on the runway, as well as aerial vehicles within approach corridors at opposite ends of the runway, and other aerial vehicles proximate the runway. Based on data received by the sensors, various characteristics of aerial vehicles can be determined, and instructions for the aerial vehicles can be determined based on the detected characteristics. Then, the aerial vehicles may utilize the determined instructions to coordinate their operations proximate the runway, which may include takeoff, taxiing, and/or landing operations. Further, speech-to-data processing may be used to translate between data and speech or audio input/output in order to enable coordination between unmanned aerial vehicles, manned aerial vehicles, and combinations thereof.
