- holding available, by at least a first apparatus, data associated with each road segment of one or more road segments, said data comprising;
a representative of a first metric associated with spatial properties associated with the respective road segment, wherein the spatial properties correspond to the topology of the respective road segment based on map data;
at least one representative of a second metric associated with at least one dynamic event associated with the respective road segment, wherein the at least one dynamic event is an event corresponding to a point in time or a period of time; and
at least one representative of a third metric associated with a speed associated with the respective road segment, wherein the speed is determined based on probe data,wherein (a) at least one of the representative of the first metric, the representative of the second metric, or the representative of the third metric corresponds to a driving difficulty of the respective road segment, (b) the one or more road segments comprise a first road segment and a second road segment, and (c) the first and second road segments are contiguous,responsive to determining that at least one of (a) a first representative of the first metric associated with the first segment and a second representative of the first metric associated with the second segment satisfy a first similarity measure, (b) a first representative of the second metric associated with the first segment and a second representative of the second metric associated with the second segment satisfy a second similarity measure, or (c) a first representative of the third metric associated with the first segment and a second representative of the third metric associated with the second segment satisfy a third similarity measure, aggregating (i) the first and second representatives of the first metric to generate an aggregated representative of the first metric, (ii) the first and second representatives of the second metric to generate an aggregated representative of the second metric, and (iii) the first and second representatives of the third metric to generate an aggregated representative of the third metric;
aggregating the aggregated representative of the first metric, the aggregated representative of the second metric, and the aggregated representative of the third metric to generate a safety data value representative of the suitability of the first and second road segments for driving; and
providing, by said at least one first apparatus, the safety data value at least partially based on the aggregated representative of the first metric, the aggregated representative of the second metric, and the aggregated representative of the third metric associated with the respective road segment.
