1. A method for traffic report certainty estimation comprising:
calculating a traffic report for a road segment based on real-time probe data collected from one or more sensors of at least one probe device;
calculating a real-time spatial coverage parameter for the road segment, wherein the real-time spatial coverage parameter indicates a percentage of the road segment covered by the real-time probe data;
mapping the real-time spatial coverage parameter to a pre-defined interval of a certainty table associated with the road segment to determine a coefficient of certainty value for the traffic report; and
providing the coefficient of certainty value as an output.
