METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR REAL-TIME MAP-MATCHING

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for real-time map-matching of probe data. Methods may include: receiving a plurality of probe data points; receiving an indication of changes to the road network, where the indication of changes includes an addition of new road segments and a removal of closed road segments; map-matching the plurality of probe data points to one or more road segments of the road network based on closest candidate road segments to form map-matched probe data; in response to a closest candidate road segment for one or more probe data points of the plurality of probe data points corresponding to a closed road segment, map-matching the one or more probe data points to a next closest candidate road segment in the map-matched probe data; and updating dynamic map data with the map-matched probe data.
