METRICS FOR MODELING LANE CLOSURE ZONES

Systems and methods for determining metrics for lane closure zone detection and evaluating the performance of lane closure zone detection. A lane closure zone can include any area where a lane is closed off. The changes to the typical travel paths for vehicles on the roadway can indicate that vehicles are to travel along a different path than that indicated on the maps the AVs use to operate. Thus, it is important for accurate driving operations of the AVs for the AVs to be able to interpret the changes to the typical travel paths indicated by the lane closure. Navigating through lane closure zones generally includes mapping (by the AV) objects in the lane closure zone, including the objects indicating the lane closure, and understanding related surrounding non-player characters (e.g., other vehicles).
