METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING LINE-OF-SIGHT OBSTRUCTION NOTIFICATION FOR NAVIGATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- processing and/or facilitating a processing of sensor data to determine that at least one action by one or more first entities on at least one travel segment has a probability above a threshold value to result in the one or more first entities causing at least one line-of-sight obstruction for one or more second entities with respect to the at least one travel segment;
determining one or more alternate actions to eliminate or to reduce the at least one line-of-sight obstruction, wherein the one or more alternate actions are to be performed by the one or more first entities, the one or more second entities, or a combination thereof; and
causing, at least in part, a presentation of the one or more alternate actions to at least one device associated with the one or more first entities, the one or more second entities, or a combination thereof.

Abstract
An approach is provided for determining at least one alternate action to be performed by at least one first entity, at least one second entity, or a combination thereof for resolving at least one line-of-sight obstruction. The approach involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of sensor data to determine that at least one action by one or more first entities on at least one travel segment has a probability above a threshold value to result in the one or more first entities causing at least one line-of-sight obstruction for one or more second entities with respect to the at least one travel segment. The approach also involves determining one or more alternate actions to eliminate or to reduce the at least one line-of-sight obstruction, wherein the one or more alternate actions are to be performed by the one or more first entities, the one or more second entities, or a combination thereof. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a presentation of the one or more alternate actions to at least one device associated with the one or more first entities, the one or more second entities, or a combination thereof.

11. 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, process and/or facilitate a processing of sensor data to determine that at least one action by one or more first entities on at least one travel segment has a probability above a threshold value to result in the one or more first entities causing at least one line-of-sight obstruction for one or more second entities with respect to the at least one travel segment; determine one or more alternate actions to eliminate or to reduce the at least one line-of-sight obstruction, wherein the one or more alternate actions are to be performed by the one or more first entities, the one or more second entities, or a combination thereof; and cause, at least in part, a presentation of the one or more alternate actions to at least one device associated with the one or more first entities, the one or more second entities, or a combination thereof. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. 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 at least perform the following steps:
-
process and/or facilitate a processing of sensor data to determine that at least one action by one or more first entities on at least one travel segment has a probability above a threshold value to result in the one or more first entities causing at least one line-of-sight obstruction for one or more second entities with respect to the at least one travel segment; determine one or more alternate actions to eliminate or to reduce the at least one line-of-sight obstruction, wherein the one or more alternate actions are to be performed by the one or more first entities, the one or more second entities, or a combination thereof and cause, at least in part, a presentation of the one or more alternate actions to at least one device associated with the one or more first entities, the one or more second entities, or a combination thereof. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
