Abstract
An approach is provided for automatically evaluating a road closure report (e.g., to reject or confirm the report). The approach, for example, involves processing the road closure report to determine one or more road links that are associated with a road closure. The approach also involves constructing a closure link graph comprising the road links, upstream road links, and downstream road links relative. The upstream and downstream road links are open for travel. The approach further involves retrieving probe data collected from vehicles traveling on roadways corresponding to the closure link graph. The approach further involves processing the probe data to calculate vehicle paths traversing the closure link graph. The approach then involves classifying a closure status of the road links based on the vehicle paths.
