Among other things, techniques are described for improving the trajectory estimates for an object in an environment. The technique includes receiving, by at least one processor, information indicating a presence of an object operating in an environment; determining, by the at least one processor, a trajectory of the object, the trajectory including at least a position, a speed, and a direction of travel of the object; determining, by the at least one processor, an expected route of the object, wherein the expected route is pre-planned and includes an expected future position of the object at a future time; comparing the trajectory of the object to the expected route of the object; and in accordance with the comparison that the trajectory of the object is consistent with the expected route of the object, updating the trajectory of the object based on the expected route of the object.
