Method and apparatus for providing traffic flow signaling

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;
• determine traffic congestion information for a travel segment;
• determine an alternate travel segment based on the traffic congestion information;
• map, respectively, the travel segment to a first jurisdiction and the alternate travel segment to a second jurisdiction, wherein the first jurisdiction is associated with a first traffic management center and the second jurisdiction is associated with a second traffic management center, and wherein the first traffic management center and the second traffic management center separately manage traffic signaling in each of the associated jurisdictions;
• calculate traffic flow for the alternate travel segment based on traffic flow information associated with the travel segment;
• and
• coordinate communication between the first traffic management center and the second traffic management center to configure one or more traffic signaling parameters for the alternate travel segment based on the calculated traffic flow.

A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform:

• determine traffic congestion information for a travel segment;
• determine an alternate travel segment based on the traffic congestion information;
• map, respectively, the travel segment to a first jurisdiction and the alternate travel segment to a second jurisdiction, wherein the first jurisdiction is associated with a first traffic management center and the second jurisdiction is associated with a second traffic management center, and wherein the first traffic management center and the second traffic management center separately manage traffic signaling in each of the associated jurisdictions;
• calculate traffic flow for the alternate travel segment based on traffic flow information associated with the travel segment;
• and
• coordinate communication between the first traffic management center and the second traffic management center to configure one or more traffic signaling parameters for the alternate travel segment based on the calculated traffic flow.
