Abstract
An approach is provided for determining placement location(s) in a public space for a shared micro-mobility vehicle. The approach involves identifying a candidate placement location in the sidewalk area. The approach also involves determining factor(s) associated with the location and/or nearby location(s) in the sidewalk area. The approach further involves making a determination of whether the location is suitable for temporary placement of a shared micro-mobility vehicle based on whether the location enables: (i) avoiding interference between the vehicle and a current/predicted people flow, a bicycle lane, and/or one or more objects, (ii) preventing the vehicle from hindering usage of a point of interest, a vehicle parking area, and/or a transit station, or (iii) accommodating the vehicle to a sidewalk configuration. The approach further involves based on the determination, outputting an indication of whether the location is suitable for temporary placement of the vehicle.
