1. A method for generating notifications, comprising:
receiving historical vehicle-trajectory data, wherein the historical vehicle-trajectory data is indicative of a plurality of historical trajectories of a vehicle along a structure, each of the plurality of historical trajectories avoids stationary objects in the structure, and the historical vehicle-trajectory data includes a location and a heading of the vehicle for each of the plurality of historical trajectories along the structure;
clustering the plurality of historical trajectories of the vehicle along the structure by types of maneuvers to generate a plurality of trajectory clusters;
creating a probability distribution bitmap using the plurality of trajectory clusters, wherein the probability distribution bitmap is representative of the plurality of historical trajectories along the structure;
creating a topographic map based on the probability distribution bitmap, wherein the topographic map includes a notification zone and a no-notification zone, the no-notification zone has a first probability density, the notification zone has a second probability density, the first probability density is greater than the second probability density, the second probability density is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, and the first probability density is greater than the predetermined threshold;
receiving, in real time, sensor data from a plurality of sensors of the vehicle;
predicting a future trajectory of the vehicle using the sensor data;
determining whether the future trajectory of the vehicle inside the structure crosses into the notification zone of the topographic map; and
in response to determining that the future trajectory of the vehicle crosses into the notification zone of the topographic map, generating a notification indicative that the vehicle will cross into the notification zone.
