Abstract:
Among other things, techniques are described for determining precedence order at a multiway stop. In embodiments, identifications are assigned to tracks, and young tracks are compared to stale tracks. A young track matches a stale track based on one or more factors. An identification of the young track is reassigned to an identification of the stale track, wherein the young track is determined to match the stale track based on the one or more factors. An earliest time of appearance of agents is determined based on identifications and in view of perception obscured areas. A precedence order for navigating through the intersection is determined based on local rules, the identifications, and the earliest time of appearance of agents, and the vehicle proceeds through the multiway stop intersection in accordance with the precedence order.
