Abstract
Embodiments include apparatus and methods for determining link level wind factors and providing routes for drones based on the wind factors. At least a portion of the route corresponds to airspace above a road network. Wind factor values are assigned to a range of altitudes of drone air space above a road link of the road network based on a wind model and stored in a database. The wind model is applied to a location based on wind condition data and three-dimensional (3D) features from 3D map data associated with the location. The route is optimized based on the determined wind factors.
