Abstract:
A plurality of instances of pre-intersection and post-intersection probe data are received. Each instance of pre-intersection probe data corresponds to traveling along a pre-intersection road segment before traveling through an intersection. Each instance of post-intersection probe data corresponds to traveling along a post-intersection road segment following traveling through the intersection. Instances of pre-intersection probe data are clustered into pre-intersection clusters based on a post-intersection road segment identified by the corresponding instance of post-intersection probe data. Instances of post-intersection probe data are clustered into post-intersection clusters based on the post-intersection road segment identified thereby. A traffic level indicator is determined for each cluster. A traffic level indicator difference is determined for each pair of corresponding pre-intersection and post-intersection clusters. Responsive to determining that at least one traffic level indicator difference is greater than a threshold traffic level indicator difference, the intersection is identified as experiencing a traffic jam.

Claim (Index 14):
An apparatus comprising at least one processor, a communication interface, and at least one memory storing computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:\n receive a plurality of instances of pre-intersection probe data, each instance corresponding to travel of a probe apparatus along a pre-intersection road segment, wherein the probe apparatus traveled the pre-intersection road segment before traveling through an intersection; receive a plurality of instances of post-intersection probe data, each instance corresponding to travel of a probe apparatus along a post-intersection road segment, wherein the probe apparatus traveled the post-intersection road segment after traveling through the intersection; analyze the plurality of instances of pre-intersection probe data and the plurality of instances of post-intersection probe data to determine whether the intersection is experiencing a traffic jam condition; and responsive to determining that the intersection is experiencing the traffic jam condition, cause a data structure to be updated indicating that the intersection is experiencing the traffic jam condition.
