Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are described so as to provide more additional information regarding vehicular behavior. In the context of a method, information is received regarding a location of the vehicle at a plurality of instances in time. The plurality of instances in time define a time period. The method also includes determining an environmental condition at the location during the time period and comparing the behavior of the vehicle to that of other vehicles at the location that are also subjected to the environmental condition. Additionally, the method may determine a score for the vehicle in relation to a risk factor based upon the behavior of the vehicle and the comparison to other vehicles at the location that are also subjected to the environmental condition.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for creating an origin-destination matrix from probe trajectory data. The approach includes receiving probe trajectory data, wherein the probe trajectory data is associated with at least one subset of a plurality of travel nodes. The approach further includes processing and/or facilitating a processing of the probe trajectory data to construct one or more microscopic origin-destination matrices, wherein the at least one microscopic origin-destination matrix represents one or more preferred travel paths through the subset of the plurality of travel nodes. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, an aggregation of the one or more microscopic origin-destination matrices to construct at least one aggregated origin-destination matrix to represent the plurality of travel nodes.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for determining at least one distribution of a plurality of current values for at least one dynamic content parameter associated with a plurality of points of interest within a predetermined proximity to at least one target point of interest. The approach involves determining at least one distribution mean and at least one distribution standard deviation for the at least one distribution of the plurality of current values.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, an incident report including a path segment identifier and an incident identifier is received at a computing device. The incident identifier is sent to a traffic prediction model. The traffic prediction model returns a traffic distribution value. The traffic distribution value identifies a portion of a traffic prediction distribution derived from historical data. The computing device accesses a lookup table according to traffic distribution value and the path segment identifier to receive a speed prediction.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for traffic modeling comprising: receiving by a server, traffic data generated by one or more devices configured to record data indicating speeds of vehicles traveling a road segment. The server separates, with a processor, the traffic data into zero speed data and non-zero speed data. The server determines, with the processor, a zero speed data characteristic value of the zero speed data. The server determines, with the processor, at least one non-zero speed data characteristic value of the non-zero speed data. The server generates, with the processor, a representative traffic value for the road segment as a function of the zero speed characteristic value and the non-zero speed characteristic value.
