Abstract
An approach is provided for combining discontinuous road closures detected in a road network. The approach, for example, involves retrieving a roadway graph including one or more open segments and at least two discontinuous closed segments. The approach also involves computing an importance weight for road links of the segments of the roadway graph. The importance weight is based on one or more attributes of the road links. The approach further involves computing a closure confidence score for the one or more open segments and/or the at least two closed segments based on the importance weight and a link closure confidence score for each link. The approach further involves changing or not changing a road closure state of the open and/or closed segments based on the closure confidence score and a minimum distance threshold between the at least two closed segments.
