Abstract
An approach is provided for converting voluminous sensor datasets into manageable distance based buckets for slope and curvature map updates. The approach involves causing, at least in part, a map-matching of one or more data sessions with one or more map links, wherein the one or more data sessions represent one or more location data packages associated with a vehicle. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a division of the one or more map links into one or more buckets at one or more intervals. The approach further involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of the one or more buckets for variance statistics to determine reliability information for acceleration slope values, acceleration curvature values, or a combination thereof calculated from the one or more location data packages. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, an updating of one or more maps based, at least in part, on the reliability information.
