Each individual probe point is associated with a location where each probe point was captured by one of one or more vehicles on the section of the roadway. The method also includes selecting one or more of the plurality of individual probe points based on a speed of the one or more vehicles associated with each probe point at a time the probe point was captured. The method further includes comparing the location of the selected probe points with a known roadway representation. Based on the comparison, the method also includes determining one or more groupings of a plurality of potential parking spaces along the section of the roadway. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are provided.
