Abstract

An occlusion is identified in a vehicle transportation network. A visibility grid is identified on a second side of the occlusion for a vehicle that is on a first side of the occlusion. The visibility grid is identified with respect to a region of interest that is at least a predefined distance above ground. The visibility grid is used to identify first portions of roads sensed by a sensor positioned on the vehicle and second portions of the roads that are not sensed by the sensor. A driving behavior of the vehicle is altered based on the visibility grid.
