Abstract: A system for estimating a spacing profile for a road agent includes a first module and a second module. The first module includes instructions that cause one or more processors to receive data related to characteristics of the road agent and road agent behavior detected in an environment of an autonomous vehicle, initiate an analysis of the road agent behavior, and estimate the spacing profile of the road agent as part of the analysis. The spacing profile includes a lateral gap preference and predicted behaviors of the road agent related to changes in lateral gap. The second module includes instructions that cause the one or more processors to determine one or more components of autonomous vehicle maneuver based on the estimated spacing profile and send control instructions for performing the autonomous vehicle maneuver.
