SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A ROADBLOCK ZONE

The disclosure provides a method, a system, and a computer program product in accordance with at least one example embodiment for detecting a roadblock zone. The method comprises receiving one or more road object observations, determining a map-matched link based on the received one or more road object observations, and calculating, at one or more locations associated with the map-matched link, heading difference data associated with a difference between a heading of each road object observation of the one or more road object observations and a heading of the map-matched link. The method further comprises identifying a set of locations from the one or more locations associated with the map-matched link where the heading difference data is more than a first predetermined threshold for each location in the set of locations and detecting the roadblock zone on the map-matched link based on the identified set of locations.
