SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING A DRIVING TRAJECTORY

Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to generating driving trajectories based on vehicle traces through lane gates. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a network of lane gates for a multi-lane road. The method also includes, for a target lane gate in the network, 1) identifying paths of connected lane gates passing through the target lane gate, 2) clustering vehicle traces passing through the target lane gate that have a same trace path, and 3) calculating a lateral position along the target lane gate for a cluster of vehicle traces. The method also includes generating a driving trajectory for the path based on lateral positions for the cluster at multiple lane gates along a path.
