  • Publication number: 20160159368
    Abstract: The approach involves determining vision capability information for one or more occupants of at least one vehicle. The approach also involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of the vision capability information to determine an estimated comfortable operational configuration for the at least one vehicle. The approach involves determining a maximum operational configuration for the at least one vehicle. The approach also involves determining a recommended operational configuration for the at least one vehicle based, at least in part, on the estimated comfortable operational configuration and the maximum operational configuration.

  • Patent number: 9344868
    Abstract: An approach is provided for determining context information associated with one or more mobile devices and transferring content and services between the devices based on the contextual information. A transfer platform determines context information associated with at least one device, at least one other device, or a combination thereof. The transfer platform then causes, at least in part, at least one transfer of one or more functionalities of the at least one device, content associated with the at least one device, or a combination thereof from the at least one device to the at least one other device based, at least in part, on the context information.

  • Publication number: 20150260536
    Abstract: An approach for providing mapping information and route information based on exception information received from various users travelling within a common area is described. A navigation system processes travel information associated with one or more devices for comparison against predetermined route information. The navigation system also determines one or more exceptions based, at least in part, on the comparison. The predetermined route information, mapping information, or a combination thereof it then caused to be updated based, at least in part, on the processing of the one or more exceptions.

  • Patent number: 9047766
    Abstract: An approach is provided notifying a user while he or she is driving of an unmapped crossing to prevent the user from unintentionally obstructing access to the crossing. A traffic platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of traffic information associated with at least one crossing to determine one or more traffic conditions. The traffic platform determines that the one or more traffic conditions may at least potentially cause at least one obstruction of at least one other crossing by at least one vehicle. The traffic platform further causes, at least in part, a presentation of at least one notification regarding the at least one obstruction to at least one device associated with the at least one vehicle, at least one other vehicle that is potentially affected by the at least one obstruction, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on the one or more traffic conditions.

  • Publication number: 20150039224
    Abstract: An approach is provided for providing a service that determines a vehicle's location without user interaction when the vehicle is incapable of updating its current location. A location platform determines a first set of dead reckoning data associated with a vehicle from a first point to a second point within an area in which one or more non-dead reckoning location technologies are unavailable or not used. The location platform determines a second set of dead reckoning data associated with at least one device of at least one user of the vehicle from the second point to a third point, wherein the one or more non-dead reckoning location technologies is available or used at the third point. The location platform then processes and/or facilitates a processing of the first set of dead reckoning data and the second set of dead reckoning data to determine a location of the second point.

  • Publication number: 20140236483
    Abstract: An approach for determining the geometry of a path of travel of a vehicle based on mapping information is described. A map based projection platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of mapping information associated with at least one path of travel of at least one vehicle to determine a geometry of the at least one path of travel.
