Methods, apparatus, and computer program products are provided in accordance with an example embodiment in order to allow for user interaction with a graphical representation of a set of data using one or more interface controls, wherein the graphical representation of the data and the interface control(s) are rendered to a display device. In example embodiments, information identifying data to be displayed is received. One or more interesting data points within the data to be displayed are identified. One or more interesting data windows are defined based on the identified interesting data points. A mapping is defined from a set of control position of an interface control to values of a variable of the data. The interface control corresponds to the variable. A graphical representation of the data and the interface control are rendered to a display device for user interaction with the graphical representation of the data.

Data aware interface controls

An approach is provided for classifying a traffic jam from probe data. The approach involves receiving the probe data that is map-matched to a roadway on which the traffic jam is detected. The probe data is collected from one or more vehicles traveling the roadway. The approach also involves determining a jam area of the roadway based on the probe data. The jam area corresponds to one or more segments of the roadway affected by the traffic jam. The approach further involves determining a set of features indicated by the probe data from a portion of the probe data collected from the jam area. The approach further involves classifying, using a machine learning classifier, the traffic jam as either a recurring traffic jam or a non-recurring traffic jam based on the set of features.
