    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to differentiating between active and inactive construction zones. In one example, this may include identifying a construction object associated with a construction zone. The identified construction object may be used to map the area of the construction zone. Detailed map information may then be used to classify the activity of the construction zone. The area of the construction zone and the classification may be added to the detailed map information. Subsequent to adding the construction zone and the classification to the detailed map information, the construction object (or another construction object) may be identified. The location of the construction object may be used to identify the construction zone and classification from the detailed map information. The classification of the classification may be used to operate a vehicle having an autonomous mode.

    Abstract: Methods and devices for estimating a heading of a target vehicle are disclosed. An example method may include determining a first point cloud representative of a location of a target vehicle at a first time period and a second point cloud representative of the location of the target vehicle at a second time period. Using a computing device, an initial comparison between the first point cloud and the second point cloud may be determined based on an estimate of a speed for the target vehicle and a time difference between the first time period and the second time period. Additionally, the initial comparison may be revised based on a minimization of a distance between points of the first point cloud and corresponding points of the second point cloud. An estimate of a heading of the target vehicle may then be determined based on the revised comparison.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to determining whether a vehicle should continue through an intersection. For example, the one or more of the vehicle's computers may identify a time when the traffic signal light will turn from yellow to red. The one or more computers may also estimate a location of a vehicle at the time when the traffic signal light will turn from yellow to red. A starting point of the intersection may be identified. Based on whether the estimated location of the vehicle is at least a threshold distance past the starting point at the time when the traffic signal light will turn from yellow to red, the computers can determine whether the vehicle should continue through the intersection.
