Abstract
An approach is provided for using pedestrian probe data for ridesharing. The approach involves, for example, receiving pedestrian probe data from a search zone associated with a designated location. The pedestrian probe data is collected, for instance, from one or more location sensors of at least one device associated with at least one pedestrian. The approach also involves processing the pedestrian probe data to determine one or more pedestrian paths terminating at the designated location. The approach further involves identifying at least one common origin, at least one common destination, or a combination thereof of the one or more pedestrian paths and providing the least one common origin, the at least one common destination, or a combination thereof as an output.
