Traffic flow vector fields

Abstract

Techniques described herein involve a determination of a set of vectors associated with a vector field that is indicative of a traffic direction in the environment. Data associated with an environment in a vicinity of a vehicle is received. Based on the data, a set of vectors associated with a vector field that is indicative of a traffic direction in the environment is determined. The vectors in the set of vectors are indicative of the traffic direction at respective positions in the environment. Instructions are generated to control the vehicle based at least in part on the set of vectors.
