Please predict whether this patent is acceptable.PATENT ABSTRACT: An approach is provided for determining one or more real-time traffic data series associated with one or more road segments over one or more time intervals. The approach involves causing, at least in part, a determination of one or more differences of the real-time data series with one or more historical models. The approach also involves determining whether the one or more real-time difference exceeds a threshold difference. The approach involves causing, at least in part, a selection of one or more other historical models for the one or more road segments over the one or more time intervals based, at least in part, on a determination that the real-time difference exceeds the threshold difference.
