Abstract
An approach is provided for automatically detecting a road closure during a probe anomaly. The approach, for example, involves determining a drop in an expected vehicle volume in a geographic area over a time epoch, wherein the expected vehicle volume represents an expected number of unique vehicles traveling in the geographic area over the time epoch. The approach also involves computing an adjusted expected vehicle volume for a road segment in the geographic area based on the drop and a historical expected vehicle volume for the road segment over the time epoch. The approach further involves determining a time window comprising at least the time epoch. The approach further involves performing an automatic road closure detection on the road segment using the time window.
