METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR VIRTUAL FENCE FORMULATION FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES USING TEMPORARY BARRIERS

An autonomy computing system of an autonomous vehicle for generating a virtual fence. The autonomy computing system receives data of a plurality of temporary barriers on a road based upon analysis of sensor data from one or more sensors of the autonomous vehicle, determines a closure intent associated with the plurality of temporary barriers exists, constructs a virtual fence associated with the plurality of temporary barriers, the virtual fence delineating a section of the road in which an autonomous vehicle is restricted from driving; and operates the autonomous vehicle based on the virtual fence.
