Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to estimate a road segment traffic tendency determination value. A current traffic speed pattern data object may be generated for an initial location of a vehicle and a future traffic speed pattern data object may be generated for an estimated downstream location of the vehicle. A road segment traffic tendency determination value may then be estimated based at least in part on the current traffic speed pattern data object and the future traffic speed pattern data object. A road segment traffic tendency notification may be provided to the vehicle.
