Methods and systems for detecting an environmental zone in a region

A system for generating a time schedule of an environmental zone in a region, the system comprising:

• a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
• obtain, for a predefined time interval, at least one observation associated with the environmental zone in the region;
• determine, for the predefined time interval, a confidence value associated with the at least one observation;
• and
• generate a time schedule for the environmental zone in the region based on the determined confidence value and the predefined time interval.

A computer programmable product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to carry out operations for providing navigation instructions, the operations comprising:

• obtaining route information for navigation of at least one vehicle in a region;
• determining, based on map data and the route information, at least one location associated with a confidence value related to an environmental zone in the region;
• determining a coverage area for the environmental zone in the region based on the determined at least one location;
• and
• providing the navigation instructions for operation of the at least one vehicle in the region based on the determined coverage area for the environmental zone in the region.
