Abstract
An approach is provided for automatic detection of vehicle parking, stopping, and/or standing locations (e.g., parking lots, alleys, loading zones, standing zones, etc.). The approach, for example, involves collecting probe data transmitted from a plurality of vehicles traveling on a road segment. The approach also involves processing the probe data to determine a vehicle behavior indicating a vehicle parking location, a vehicle stopping location, a vehicle standing location, or a combination thereof. The approach further involves flagging the road segment as being associated with the vehicle parking location, the vehicle stopping location, the vehicle standing location, or a combination thereof based on the vehicle behavior to update a geographic database.
