Abstract
An approach is provided for processing and/or facilitating a processing of probe trace data to determine one or more mode indicators, wherein the one or more mode indicators include, at least in part, one or more attributes of the probe trace data. The approach involves causing, at least in part, a modeling of one or more statistical patterns of at least one pedestrian mode of transport, at least one non-pedestrian mode of transport, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on determining one or more probabilities that one or more mode indicators are associated with the at least one pedestrian mode of transport, the at least one non-pedestrian mode of transport, or a combination thereof. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a classification of other probe trace data as being associated with the at least one pedestrian mode of transport or the at least one non-pedestrian mode of transport based, at least in part, on the one or more mode indicators that are associated with the other probe trace data and the one or more statistical patterns.
