1. A method for use in predicting load of traffic, the method comprising:

  • estimating by a mapping system a number of vehicles traveling according to a non-reference route and predicted to deviate from a reference route at a route segment related to a forward time interval, based on a value corresponding to a number of responses generated by one or more match processes corresponding to said vehicles, wherein estimating comprises;

    performing a predetermined differential traffic load match process by said one or more match processes corresponding to said vehicles in response to a traffic prediction update of a traffic prediction system; and

    enabling a predetermined response procedure based on a predicted deviation of a vehicle in relation to said route segment related to said forward time interval.
