Abstract
This document discloses system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating a possible object trajectory. For example, the method includes: analyzing sensor data to detect a moving object in an environment and at least one obstacle that the moving object is unable to traverse; generating a definition for a location of the obstacle in the environment in terms of reference frames defined for a lane and distances from a left boundary of the lane to edges of the obstacle; using the definition for the location of the obstacle and known dimensions of the moving object to detect any free space around the obstacle through which the moving object can traverse; and generating the possible object trajectory based on the detection of any free space.
