Abstract
An approach is provided for preventing traffic over-reporting via identifying misleading traffic data. The approach involves, for example, detecting a connection attempt between a wireless communication infrastructure device and a plurality of probe devices. The wireless communication infrastructure device is associated with a known height. The approach also involves processing one or more wireless signals associated with the connection attempt to determine height data of the plurality of probe devices. The approach further involves determining based on the height data that at least two of the plurality of probe devices are carried by a single entity. The approach further involves providing data indicating the at least two of the plurality of probe devices as an output.
