METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR LANE-LEVEL ROUTE GUIDANCE

A method is provided for generating lane-level route guidance. Methods may include generating a first lane-level maneuver pattern between an origin and a destination based on a database of historical probe data points, each probe data point received from a probe apparatus of a plurality of probe apparatuses, where the lane-level maneuver pattern includes a recommended lane of travel along the route between the origin and the destination based on at least one of relative safety, relative popularity, or relative efficiency of the lane-level maneuver pattern; receiving a plurality of real-time or near real-time probe data points; generating an updated lane-level maneuver pattern between the origin and the destination based on the first lane-level maneuver pattern and the plurality of real-time or near real-time probe data points; and providing for route guidance of a vehicle based on the updated lane-level maneuver pattern.
