Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to generating driving trajectories for routes along a road based on vehicle traces through lane gates. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a network of lane gates across a representation of a road. The method also includes, for a target lane gate, 1) clustering vehicle traces passing through the target lane gate based on a trace lateral position at the target lane gate and 2) placing a node for a cluster on the target lane gate at a representative lateral position for the cluster. The method also includes generating a driving trajectory for a path by connecting nodes on adjacent lane gates that share a vehicle trace.
