Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to estimate a road segment traffic tendency determination value. A current traffic speed pattern data object may be generated for an initial location of a vehicle and a future traffic speed pattern data object may be generated for an estimated downstream location of the vehicle. A road segment traffic tendency determination value may then be estimated based at least in part on the current traffic speed pattern data object and the future traffic speed pattern data object. A road segment traffic tendency notification may be provided to the vehicle.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to determine one or more probe point data objects and/or validate one or more probe point data objects for use with determination of traffic conditions. A determined probe point data object may be determined and/or updated with one or more probe point data objects which exclude any probe point data objects determined to correspond to an off-road location. A validated probe point data object may additionally or alternatively be determined using one or more first validation sequence check operations and using one or more second validation sequence check operations. The determined probe point data object and/or validated probe point data object may be used to determine one or more traffic conditions, and as a result, traffic condition determinations may be determined more accurately and efficiently.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to estimate the location of a vehicle based at least in part upon two or more road signs that are depicted by one or more images captured by one or more image capture devices onboard the vehicle. By relying at least in part upon the two or more road signs, the location of the vehicle may be refined or otherwise estimated with enhanced accuracy, such as in instances in which there is an inability to maintain a line-of-sight with the satellites of a satellite positioning system or otherwise in instances in which the location estimated based upon reliance on satellite or radio signals is considered insufficient. As a result, the vehicle may be navigated in a more informed and reliable manner and the relationship of the vehicle to other vehicles may be determined with greater confidence.

As the vehicle traverses the route, the driving assistance features may be enabled or disabled based on the wireless performance data for the path segment. The vehicle route may be updated to continue to enable a set of the driving assistance features.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for traffic report certainty estimation. The approach may include determining at least one data input to a traffic model for generating a traffic report estimation for a road segment. The approach may also involve determining at least one input characteristic value associated with the at least one data input based, at least in part, on probe data collected from one or more sensors of at least one probe device. The approach may further involve determining a coefficient of certainty value from a certainty table based on the at least one input characteristic value, wherein the certainty table respectively maps one or more value intervals of the at least one input characteristic value to a pre-assigned coefficient of certainty value, and providing the coefficient of certainty value as an output associated with the traffic report.

Abstract: An approach is provided for accurate travel time prediction. The approach involves, for example, determining probe data collected within a threshold proximity of a vehicle location and a pickup location. The probe data may be collected, for example, from a location sensor of at least one probe vehicle that has previously traversed the vehicle location and the pickup location. The approach also involves processing the probe data to identify a travel time of a route taken by the at least one probe vehicle from the vehicle location to the pickup location. The approach also involves providing the travel time as an output indicating a wait time for a vehicle at the vehicle location to reach the pickup location.
