Abstract
This document discloses system, method, and computer program product embodiments for operating a vehicle. For example, the method includes: obtaining a vehicle trajectory for the vehicle and a possible object trajectory for a moving object; analyzing the vehicle trajectory and the possible object trajectory to identify a time interval in which a footprint of the vehicle overlaps laterally with a footprint of the object; generating a mover raw margin in the time interval by shifting the footprint of the vehicle laterally until contact is made with the footprint of the object; obtaining a crossing time associated with each point in the mover raw margin; and generating a mover strong boundary by laterally shifting point(s) of the mover raw margin in the direction towards the vehicle when the crossing time(s) associated with the point(s) is(are) equal to or less than a threshold time.
