    Abstract: An approach is provided for end-to-end traffic estimation. The approach involves, for instance, retrieving probe data or other sensor data collected from sensors of devices traveling in a geographic area. The approach also involves optionally aggregating the probe or sensor data into a sequence of frames. Each frame comprises a plurality of spatial cells representing the geographic area at a respective time interval. The probe or sensor data is spatially and temporally binned into the spatial cells. The approach further involves initiating an offline pre-processing pipeline to associate the probe or sensor data with road segments of a geographic database and/or otherwise determining a ground-truth traffic state for each frame or sensor data. The approach further involves training a machine learning model using the ground-truth traffic state to determine a predicted traffic state directly from input frames or sensor data.

    Abstract: An approach is provided for spatial aggregation for location based services. The approach involves, for example, determining a plurality of partitions for a geographic area. The approach also involves determining a set of destinations that is common to a first partition and a second partition of the plurality of partitions. The set of destinations are associated with a plurality of trips originating from first partition, the second partition, or a combination thereof. The approach further involves determining a statistical property of the plurality of trips between any of the set of destinations and the first partition, the second partition, or a combination thereof. The approach further involves merging the first partition with the second partition into the traffic analysis zone based on the statistical property.

    Abstract: An approach is provided for machine learning-based prediction of an estimated time of arrival (ETA) or any other trip characteristic. The approach involves, for example, receiving a request for an ETA (or any other trip characteristic). The request specifies an origin, a destination, and a time of departure. The approach also involves discretizing the origin to an origin ETA homogenous zone and the destination to a destination ETA homogenous zone. The approach further involves determining one or more features of one or more pre-computed k-shortest paths for an origin-destination (O-D) zone pair comprising the origin ETA homogenous zone and the destination ETA homogenous zone. The approach further involves providing the one or more features as an input to a trained machine learning to predict the ETA of the trip (or any other trip characteristic).

    Abstract: An approach is provided for linearizing a network of features for machine learning tasks. The approach involves, for instance, receiving a graph representation of a network of a plurality of features. For example, a plurality of vertices of the graph representation, an edge connecting two vertices of the plurality of vertices, or a combination thereof respectively represents the plurality of features. The approach also involves determining a linear order of the plurality of features based on a selected criterion. The approach further involves generating a vector representation of the plurality of features based on the linear order. The approach further involves using the vector representation as an input, an output, or a combination thereof of a machine learning model.

    Abstract: An approach is provided for compression of sparse data for machine learning or equivalent tasks. The approach involves, for instance, receiving data that is binned into a plurality of bins. The data, for instance, represents a spatial surface such as a geographic region. The approach also involves processing the data by applying a compression criterion to classify one or more bins of the plurality of bins as either data-containing bins or empty bins. The approach further involves establishing a space filling curve over the plurality of bins, wherein the space filling curve linearizes the plurality of bins according to a placement order. The approach further involves storing the data-containing bins of the plurality of bins in a compressed data structure based on the placement order of the space filling curve.
