Abstract
An approach is disclosed for predicting damage area zones for a vehicle to avoid in case of an accident. The approach involves, for example, retrieving property cost data associated with one or more map features of a geographic area. The approach also involves determining at least one damage area zone in the geographic area based on the property cost data, wherein the at least one damage area zone indicates a zone within the geographic area associated with a property damage value predicted to result from an accident occurring in the zone based on the property cost data. The approach further involves providing the at least one damage area zone as a digital channel output of a geographic database.
Claims13
A method comprising:
- retrieving property cost data associated with one or more map features of a geographic area;
- detecting, by using one or more sensors, one or more vehicles in the geographic area;
- determining vehicle cost data for the one or more vehicles, wherein the one or more sensors include an imaging sensor, wherein the one or more vehicles are detected using object recognition from image data captured by the imaging sensor;
- processing the image data to determine vehicle strength data, vehicle durability data, or a combination thereof associated with the one or more vehicles;
- determining at least one damage area zone in the geographic area based on the property cost data and the vehicle cost data, wherein the at least one damage area zone indicates a zone within the geographic area associated with a property damage value and a vehicle damage value predicted to result from an accident occurring in the zone based on the property cost data, the vehicle cost data, the vehicle strength data, the vehicle durability data, or a combination thereof;
- providing the at least one damage area zone as a digital channel output of a geographic database;
- and
- generating a navigation route based on the digital channel output, wherein the navigation route is generated based on a cost function that minimizes the property damage value and the vehicle damage value encountered on the navigation route.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following operations:
- retrieve property cost data associated within one or more map features of a geographic area;
- detect, via one or more sensors, one or more vehicles in the geographic area;
- determine vehicle cost data for the one or more vehicles, wherein the one or more sensors include an imaging sensor, wherein the one or more vehicles are detected using object recognition from image data captured by the imaging sensor;
- process the image data to determine vehicle strength data, vehicle durability data, or a combination thereof associated with the one or more vehicles;
- determine at least one damage area zone in the geographic area based on the property cost data and the vehicle cost data, wherein the at least one damage area zone indicates a zone within the geographic area associated with a property damage value and a vehicle damage value predicted to result from an accident occurring in the zone based on the property cost data, the vehicle cost data, the vehicle strength data, the vehicle durability data, or a combination thereof;
- and
- provide the at least one damage zone as a digital channel output of a geographic database.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon one or more program instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following operations:
- retrieving property cost data associated within one or more map features of a geographic area;
- detecting, by using one or more sensors, one or more vehicles in the geographic area;
- determining vehicle cost data for the one or more vehicles, wherein the one or more sensors include an imaging sensor, wherein the one or more vehicles are detected using object recognition from image data captured by the imaging sensor;
- processing the image data to determine vehicle strength data, vehicle durability data, or a combination thereof associated with the one or more vehicles;
- determining a maximum damage zone, a minimum damage zone, or a combination thereof in the geographic area based on the property cost data and the vehicle cost data, wherein the maximum damage zone, the minimum damage zone, or a combination thereof indicates a zone within the geographic area associated with a property damage value and a vehicle damage value predicted to result from an accident occurring in the zone based on the property cost data, the vehicle cost data, the vehicle strength data, the vehicle durability data, or a combination thereof;
- providing the maximum damage zone, the minimum damage zone, or a combination thereof as a digital channel output of a geographic database.
