Abstract
An approach is provided for optimizing intermodal route computations. A routing platform retrieves shared vehicle availability data associated with one or more modes of transport for geographic areas. The routing platform further processes the shared vehicle availability data to determine a shared vehicle availability pattern for each geographic area. The routing platform further generates, based on the shared vehicle availability pattern, an intermodal vehicle availability model indicating a combination of modes of transport for each geographic area, wherein the geographic areas are selectively excluded from computations to generate an intermodal route. The routing platform further provides the intermodal vehicle availability model as an output for generating the intermodal route.
