1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code instructions, the computer program code instructions configured to, when executed, cause the apparatus to:
receive a destination for a vehicle as input;
receive attribute data associated with a source capable of acquiring vehicle signature information, wherein the source is a device comprising a sensor capable of acquiring the vehicle signature information;
determine a detection range of the source based on the attribute data;
based on the detection range, select a subset from a plurality of road segments as a route from a location to the destination such that the subset is outside the detection range, wherein the subset is one or more of the plurality of road segments, and wherein each of the plurality of road segments is a road connecting two nodes; and
cause the vehicle to traverse the route or the portion thereof.
