US Patent 10002531 Method and apparatus for predicting driving behavior

An approach is provided for predicting driving behavior. A prediction platform determines driving characteristic information for one or more vehicles in association with a segment of a travel path navigated by each of the one or more vehicles. The prediction platform also processes driving characteristic information to determine one or more response types, one or more behavior types, or a combination thereof associated with the segment of the travel path and associates the one or more response types, the one or more behavior types, or a combination thereof with mapping information for specifying the segment of the travel path, a behavior connection link-chain, or a combination thereof.
