Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided that involves determining, based on map data, an approaching merge region comprising an on-ramp merging with a road comprising one or more lanes, wherein a truck is traveling on an initial lane of the road according to a navigation plan. The method involves an indication of movement of a vehicle on the on-ramp, wherein the indication of movement is based on data collected by one or more sensors configured to capture sensor data from an environment surrounding the truck. The method involves determining, for the on-ramp and the one or more lanes, respective avoidance scores indicative of a likelihood of an interaction between the truck and the vehicle based on the approaching merge region. The method involves updating the navigation plan based on the respective avoidance scores. The method also involves controlling the truck to execute a driving strategy based on the updated navigation plan.

Abstract: A transport service system identifies a map matched trajectory for a transport vehicle based on planned route information and location data associated with a trip. The system receives planned route information and location data for a transport vehicle. For each location data point, the transport service system identifies a set of candidate road segments. Sequential pairs of candidate road segments represent transitions. The system uses a map of the corresponding area to calculate a transition probability, the likelihood of traversing from the first candidate road segment to the second candidate road segment. The system identifies transitions that correspond to the planned route and adjusts the transition probabilities based on the identified planned route transitions. Based on the adjusted probabilities, the transport service system determines a most-likely traversed path for the transport vehicle.
