    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for determining the familiarity of a person with a geographic area based on their mobility data compared against baseline mobility data, and leveraging the familiarity to inform those less familiar and to inform travel within the geographic area. Methods may include: receiving probe data from a plurality of first probe apparatuses within a geographic region; determining, from the probe data, a baseline mobility model; receiving probe data from a second probe apparatus within the geographic region; determining a second mobility model of the second probe apparatus; determining, based at least in part on the baseline mobility model, a mobility efficiency of the second mobility model; and providing, to a user of the second probe apparatus, instructions relating to mobility to improve mobility efficiency of the user of the second probe apparatus.

    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product may be provided for updating map data in a map database to indicate presence of a road sign. The method may include obtaining first sensor data associated with a road sign. The first sensor data may comprise at least one of one or more first positive observations of a road sign or one or more first negative observations of the road sign. The method may further include obtaining second sensor data for the road sign, for example, based on the first sensor data. The second sensor data may comprise cumulative historic road sign observation data for time duration. The method may include determining a sign confidence ratio based on the first sensor data and the second sensor data. The method may include updating the map data based on the sign confidence ratio.

    Abstract: An approach is provided for detecting a presence of a physical divider on a road segment. The approach, for example, involves determining a number of positive observations of the physical divider on the road segment based on sensor data collected from one or more vehicles traveling the road segment. The approach also involves determining a number of negative observations of the physical divider on the road segment based on the sensor data. The approach further involves calculating a probability of the presence of the physical divider based on the number of the positive observations and the number of the negative observations. The approach further involves updating map data for the road segment to indicate the presence of the physical divider based on determining that the probability of the presence of the physical divider is greater than a threshold value.
