1. A method, comprising:
processing, by a computing system, location-specific sensor information of a traffic event at a location on a road network, the location-specific sensor information received from a sensor arranged on an infrastructure at the road network, the sensor having a field of view based on being arranged on the infrastructure, and the location-specific sensor information based on the field of view of the sensor;
determining, by the computing system, a location-specific element based on the location-specific sensor information, the location-specific element associated with a flow of traffic at a time point;
generating, by the computing system, a location-specific model of the traffic event based on the flow of traffic and the time point;
incorporating, by the computing system, a representation of a first hypothetical autonomous vehicle into the location-specific model;
determining, by the computing system, control instructions for a location-specific driving maneuver for a second autonomous vehicle to mitigate the traffic event based on the location-specific model, the control instructions determined based on incorporating the representation of the first hypothetical autonomous vehicle into the location-specific model; and
causing, by the computing system, the control instructions to be transmitted to an actuator of the second autonomous vehicle to perform the location-specific driving maneuver thereby controlling the second autonomous vehicle at the location based on the location-specific model.
