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. The approach also involves determining at least one set of historical values for the at least one dynamic content parameter for the at least one target point of interest. The approach further involves determining at least one estimated current value for the at least one dynamic content parameter associated with the at least one target point of interest based, at least in part, on the at least one set of historical values, the at least one distribution mean, and the at least one distribution standard deviation.

Method and apparatus for causing a recommendation of a point of interest

A method and system for calculating an energy efficient route is disclosed. A route calculation application calculates one or more routes from an origin to a destination. For each of the routes, the route calculation application uses impedance factor data associated with each segment in the route. The impedance factor is calculated using probe data when the probe data is available for a road segment. When probe data is unavailable, the impedance factor is calculated using machine learning techniques that analyze the results of the impedance factor classifications for road segments having probe data.
