Abstract: Precision traffic flow indication may involve receiving device data over a period of time representing a plurality traffic flow readings associated with a road involving a plurality of subsections. Calculating traffic flows and determining road subsections having similar traffic flows may also be involved. Also, indicating a different traffic flow level for a first subsection and a second subsection of road may be involved.

Abstract: An approach is provided for generating location data error maps. The approach involves determining location data error information associated with at least one set of location data. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, an encoding of the location data error information as a function of a position parameter. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a generation of at least one location data error map based, at least in part, on the encoding.

Abstract: Methods for providing a highly assisted driving (HAD) service include: (a) transmitting telematics sensor data from a vehicle to a remote first server; (b) transmitting at least a portion of the telematics sensor data from the remote first server to a remote second server, wherein the remote second server is configured to execute a HAD application using received telematics sensor data, and wherein the HAD application is configured to output a HAD service result; and (c) transmitting the HAD service result from the remote second server to a client. Apparatuses for providing a HAD service are described.

Abstract: An approach is provided for separating past speed data into speed profiles corresponding to multi-modal segments of a travel network. A navigation processing platform determines one or more links of at least one travel network that includes at least one split into two or more links. The navigation processing platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of probe data associated with the one or more links to determine that the one or more links exhibit a multi-modality with respect to travel speed. The navigation processing platform then determines a plurality of speed profiles for one or more segments of the one or more links based, at least in part, on the multi-modality. The navigation processing platform further causes, at least in part, a generation of at least one travel speed map that associates the plurality of speed profiles with the one or more segments of the one or more links.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for determining an optimal warning distance for a vehicle. For example, the geographic location of the vehicle is received along with a reaction profile of the operator of the vehicle. Based on the geographic location, a roadway condition is determined. An optimal warning distance is then determined based on a braking distance of the vehicle and the reaction profile of the operator of the vehicle. The operator of the vehicle, or a navigation system of the vehicle itself, is alerted to the roadway condition when the vehicle is located at the optimal warning distance.

Abstract: A controller receives probe data from a vehicle traveling on a path segment. The probe data may be collected by a mobile device. The path segment may be a multilane roadway. The controller identifies a first lane of the path segment from the probe data. The controller associated a forked route with the first lane of the path segment. The controller calculates different traffic values for the lanes of the path segment. One traffic value may be calculated directly from speeds derived from the path data. Another traffic value may be calculated by the probe data and a historical relationship.

Abstract: An approach is provided for determining a plurality of notifications associated with one or more curved sections of at least one travel segment. The approach involves causing, at least in part, an aggregation of the plurality of notifications into at least one aggregated notification based, at least in part, on a road distance threshold between the one or more curved sections. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a presentation of the at least one aggregated notification in place of separately presenting the plurality of notifications.

Abstract: Probabilistic road system reporting may involve determining a probability that a section of road is congested, calculating the congestion levels for sections of road having a high probability of congestion, and providing calculated congestion levels. The high probability congestion road sections may also be subject to more frequent congestion level calculation and updating than road sections having lesser probabilities of congestion.
