Abstract
A method to determine if a traffic situation comprising a plurality of heavy-duty vehicles following a plurality of guided vehicle trajectories in a defined area will lead to a vehicle deadlock is described. For example, one method includes generating a traffic situation representation for the defined area comprising, for each of the plurality of vehicles, an initial vehicle trajectory segment location and a subsequent deadlock status, inputting the traffic situation representation to a traffic situation deadlock classifier which has been trained to output a traffic situation deadlock classification based on an input representation of a traffic situation in the defined area, and, based on the input traffic situation representation, generating a predicted deadlock classification of a subsequent traffic situation for that input traffic situation representation.
