Abstract
An approach for traffic incident verification involves receiving a traffic message channel (TMC) message indicating a traffic incident. The TMC message indicates an extent of the traffic incident in a road graph using TMC location code(s)/offset(s). The approach also involves matching the TMC location code(s)/offset(s) to a first set of map road link(s) and offset(s) of a geographic database, determining sensor data collected from vehicle(s) travelling within the road graph. The sensor data indicates the extent as location point(s) of topology segment(s) (TSs) and TS offset(s), matching the location point(s) of the TS(s) and TS offset(s) to a second set of map road link(s) and offset(s) of the geographic database, determining an intersection set between the first and second sets, and initiating a confirmation of the traffic incident reported in the TMC message based on the sensor data of the location point(s) of the TSs in the intersection set.
