    determining at least two speed patterns associated with the received data;

    storing the data classified as the first speed pattern in a regular lanes database;

    storing the data classified as the second speed pattern in a carpool lanes database; and

    wherein the data is classified as the first speed pattern if the number of probe vehicles associated with the first speed pattern is greater than the number of probe vehicles associated with the second speed pattern.
